screen lock for virtual console

Suppose I am using a desktop with X
But for some reasons I have to use the virtual console and I want to lock the virtual console so that I can have a particular process running on it without anyone's disturbance.
Please help

Use the screen command. See 'man screen' for details. To lock the screen, use the sequence 'control-a X'.
