I found a quick work around for this. I just used 'viewsource' and copied the code in the page, and then deleted the page and edited it and pasted the copied code. Now, the 'edit' tab appears.
Thanks, Sirisha

Thank you for responding.
The protected page has been locked for editing even to the sysops. Two years back, the authentication was done using local database. A few months back, we have shifted to the LDAP for authentication. Is there any way to change the setting and unlock the page?

Hi, I have the following configuration. MediaWiki Version 1.13.3 Semantic MediaWiki Version 1.4.1 UBUNTU 2.6.27-9-server
Latest MediaWiki version is 1.15.1, consider upgrading.
There are some pages in wiki, which have been protected a few years ago. Even the sysops are not able to edit them.
sysops should be able to edit any page.
I have found on google search that only users from "autoconfirmed" group
can
edit them. that too who are registered for more than a configured time.
Searching google won't show the exact protection level of your page.
I have added myself to autoconfirmed group. But could someone please let
me
know what the configured time is? And in which file this period can be changed?
LocalSettings.php, variable $wgAutoConfirmAge http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgAutoConfirmAge
