Are you asking about changing the lockout policy, or are you asking about
unlocking the account? You can unlock the account in Local Users and
Computers, assuming it is a local account.
Hit WindowKey+R
Type compmgmt.msc in the dialog and hit enter
Expand "Local Users and Groups"
Click on "Users"
Right-click the user that got locked out and select properties
Uncheck the "Account is locked out" checkbox.
If it is a domain account you need to do the same operation, but on a DC,
and using AD Users and Computers.
