You dont unlock account in this way
for some type of locks you must use 'sysadmsh' utility

I can't think of anything where you HAVE to use sysadamsh, but you certainly can if you want to.
By the way, "sysadmsh" is long deprecated - it's "scoadmin" nowadays. You can still use it if you want to, but I doubt many do.
