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.

Yes, there is; first you will need to activate the Universal Access Menu. To do this go to System Settings and select Universal Access:

Settings menu

Once you have done so activate the Universal Access Menu:

Always show Universal Access

After you have done that you can go into the Universal Access Menu and activate the Screen Keyboard:

screen keyboard on

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):

onscreen keyboard
