This is an oldie, but a goodie…

Unlock-ADAccount -Identity "UserName"

If you haven’t used this, and didn’t know it existed, definitely add it to your tool box. It’s so much easier than having to go into the GUI to do this.

A nice future script you could have this in is if you have multiple users get locked out, that you could pipe Get-ADUser for the group you want and filter it so only disabled show and either unlock all of them, or pipe it to Out-GridView with passthrough. This would give you a nice gridview of the users and the ones you select from it would be disabled.
