Identify the SPID (Server Process ID) of the conflicting replication agent process using the `sysprocesses` query mentioned earlier. Then, use the `KILL ` command to terminate the process. Be cautious when using `KILL` as it can interrupt ongoing operations. Ensure you understand the implications before terminating a process.
