Login was not working on that page.
Internet (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255702055) has the solution to this problem:
This fixed it for me:
sudo dscl . deletepl /Users/ accountPolicyData history.

(Replace with your own account name.)

Apparently the longer the history of account policy data, the longer (un)locking takes. In my case the list was huge because of repeated policy updates.
Running the command above resolved my issue *instantly*.
