You should be able to do this with "loginctl unlock-session [id]"

I just tried "loginctl unlock-sessions" on my Raspberry Pi. It did not return an error, but it didn't unlock it either. I also tried replacing the [id] with the different sessions listed out from "loginctl list-sessions" but none of those unlocked it either.

I'm having the same issue. When I connect via ssh, I can list sessions with "loginctl list-sessions" and then attempt to unlock them with "loginctl unlock-session" (which generates no error message or any other output), but the session never actually unlocks on the remote machine.
