They lock together very tightly and then have probably (if installed correctly), been tightened together with a hammer and block of some sort.
Try to lever up a piece by the edge by the expansion gap. You will need to almost bring it vertical before it will unlock. If you have a problem with the first edge, try the edge at the opposite side of the room. It all depends on which direction the locking has been laid. Once you have one piece up it should be quick and simple.
If they are the "click" type then you ned to lift them in the reverse order to which they were laid.
Most people start with whole boards along one wall and end up cutting the boards along the last wall, so look for a wall where the boards are cut length-wise. Lift from the wall edge to about 30� and wiggle it out.
The rest should be easier to come up following the same method.
Good Luck
