The problem is that if you use a passcode, then change it from the 
command line and it contains non-digits, then the lock screen shows you 
a numerical keypad with digits only so you cannot enter your pass-phrase

The only way I can think of without wiping the device entirely would be 
to flash a recovery image with adb enabled mount the ubuntu system 
partition and revert the password to a digit only passcode.
