A locking apparatus for an enclosed electronic device locking or releasing a latching member includes a rotating assembly, a sliding member defining a notch, an elastic member, and an electromagnet. The rotating assembly comprises two brackets and a rotating member. The rotating member comprises an opening. Opposite sides of the opening define a pulling portion and a resisting portion. Opposite ends of the elastic member connect to the pulling portion and the sliding member. The latching member resists against the resisting portion to rotate the rotating member. The sliding member moves to the latching member by the elastic member to make the notch engage with the latching member. The notch is removed from the latching member by the electromagnet, the sliding member pulls the elastic member to rotate the rotating member. The resisting portion resists against the latching member to remove the latching member from the sliding member.
