On-screen keyboard for lock screen
As I am having some trouble at the moment with the lock screen and entering my password, I was wondering if there was some sort of on-screen keyboard which could be displayed to me on the lock screen so that I could type in my password?
I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18.

What does the accessibility menu show (should look like a human figure)?

@muru: I don't see any such icon, how do I get this "accessibility menu"?

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME_Display_Manager#/media/… You don't see the human figure icon in the top bar (first of the icons in the corner)? You are using GDM, right?

@muru: I don't see it, and yes, I am using GDM, but I have seen it before, is there some setting to turn it on?

Yes, there is; first you will need to activate the Universal Access Menu. To do this go to System Settings and select Universal Access:
Once you have done so activate the Universal Access Menu:
After you have done that you can go into the Universal Access Menu and activate the Screen Keyboard:
And voilà, one on screen keyboard available for you to type with (this will appear if you start typing in the system somewhere, but not in a text box in Firefox or anything like that):
