Setting a new password will unlock the account, assuming there are no issue with the backend user/password store.

By the way, the recommended command is no more "passmgmt", but one of "useradd", "userdel", or "usermod" (in your case, "usermod").

you can also type passwd -d followed by the user name and that deletes the lock.
By default, then the user as he logs in, he has to give himself a new password.
