Kill the process using OS tools (if your platform allows of course). v$session will give you the process ID (PID or SPID I think).
If you are runnuing NT, you may sometimes find that the processes never leave v$session even though they've been marked for killing.
In this case you'll need to restart the Oracle instance.
