I locked the passwd for a user by using the command,
sudo passwd -l [user]
Then, how do I unlock the passwd for this user?

Usually, you can consult the man page for a command in these situations. In your case, you could have typedman passwd, then type/unlockand hit Enter in order to search for the wordunlockin the man page. This leads directly to the option-u.

sudo passwd -u [username]
from man passwd:
-u, --unlock Unlock the password of the named account. This option re-enables a password by changing the password back to its previous value (to the value before using the -l option).
