Pardon my ignorance, is there another option besides relocking? I believe in the Nexus One days, relocking took quite some time to solve. I'm wondering if that's still the case.

And my last ignorant question, if you relock are there any complications running a custom ROM such as CM? Specifically, on reboot. Thanks.

I cant remember specifically for the Nexus One, but i believe its the same as the modern nexus and samsung devices(devices that provide an official way to unlock).

When you unlock a device it wipes the entire device, so your data would not be at risk.

I do not know if it wipes it when it relocks it, but no it is not a complicated task. All it requires is one command.

"fastboot oem lock" to lock

and

"fastboot oem unlock" to unlock(wipes device).
