SharePoint 2013 unable to unlock site collection

In case you manage your SharePoint installation with PowerShell and your backup script failed, you might experience that the site collection is locked for any kind of access.

As a front-end developer I am pretty passionate about knowing my tech, and admittedly I began with jQuery and moved to learning JavaScript, I know many others have too. This article is here to talk anyone looking to dive into native JavaScript development over jQuery, and should hopefully open up some doors into the future of your coding.
