Second option: Describe the current state

This option presented here i think only confuses people and clashes with the first option (show what the button does). Take the example:

The first thing i thought this would do was enable the Unlocked state, until i saw what happened when the button was pressed. A better option in this case would be to just put 'Lock' on the button (as in, the action) and not represent the current state on the button (or at most in the icon only). I can't think of a situation where having the current state is better than putting on the action, but i might be wrong.
