Is there any way to get the Reports and Forms out of an
MDE? I was able to import the Tables and Queries, but the
others are locked.
 
That is the whole point of an MDE. It prevents people from copying the hard
work spent building forms and reports!

The tables, queries, and macros are natively importable from MDE
files to a new database, but as you noticed, not code-bearing objects
like forms, reports, and modules.

See if these links which claim to help in this area give you some guidance:

You can import all the forms and reports at one time using Serge
Gavrilov's free tool "MDE forms/reports extractor v1.1".

I have not tried these utilities myself so I cannot attest to their abilities.
