there is a temporary hack which lets you see the lockscreen for the phone. To 
enable it log into the phone and create a file

/home/phablet/.unity8-greeter-demo

with this content:

password=pin

If you want to see/use the password unlock screen instead, put this into the 
file:

password=keyboard

For now, the pin is hardcoded to "1234" and the password is just "password". 
Note that this functionality can (and will) disappear at any time as we are 
progressing with bringing bits and pieces together. This is just a temporary, 
simple way to enable the visual part of the lockscreen for testing.

Have fun,
Michael
