I'm guessing on ubuntu-touch-session here, if there's a better place to
assign it, please feel free; I'd be curious to know where it is, in that
case.

Thanks

Title:
  Aquaris E4,5 Ubuntu PIN/Passphrase lockout error

Status in ubuntu-keyboard package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in ubuntu-touch-session package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I changed my password in terminal with 'passwd'

  Then I checked to see if my PIN was changed automatically because I
  had a PIN and not a passphrase to access the phone. I changed it to
  have a more secure login as I am doing some development.

  Now I'm locked out because:
  1) my passphrase is not a PIN
  2) the only input keypad is for PINs (it is a numerical pad and not a lettered keyboard, so I can't enter the passphrase)

  Any ideas of how to regain access? I know the old PIN and the new
  passphrase, if there's any way of booting directly to command line to
  change it back to a numerical pin.

  I am running OTA 7 freshly updated 15.04
  since I have no access I don't have much info

  let me know if there's anything I can do and thanks for whatever help.
