unfreeze
Let it flow
To unfreeze is to thaw something frozen, returning it to a liquid or flexible state: Unfreeze the chicken before cooking.
More often, unfreeze applies to things metaphorically frozen—releasing assets, accounts, or funds that were locked: The bank agreed to unfreeze her account.
In computing, to unfreeze is to restore a frozen program or screen to working order.
