Is there any way to unlock account quicker

You specifically ask about unlocking an account, so we can exclude hardware unlocking from consideration. The two methods Apple lists as common reasons for a disabled account unlock about as fast as you can go through the steps for doing it, so we don't need to consider those either. The only wait period I can think of in the context of account unlocking is where you are using account recovery. So we narrow this down to this section from the support article How to use account recovery when you can’t reset your Apple ID password - Apple Support :

"In some cases, you might be able to speed up the account recovery process or reset your password immediately by verifying a six-digit code sent to your primary email address. You might also be able to shorten the wait time by providing credit-card details to confirm your identity. If you’re given this option, an authorization request goes to the card issuer." - see the document for more details.
