Can not unlock my phone

[AC Question]

I can not unlock my phone because the Samsung key board has stopped. My phone was off for a few hours so I don't know what the problem might be.

If your phone has a removable battery, remove and reinsert. If not, try clearing system cache. Last resort is usb keyboard with OTG adaptor

Welcome to Android Central! It would help to know which Samsung phone you have. If a battery pull and system cache partition wipe don't help, then you could try connecting a basic USB keyboard via an OTG adapter (very inexpensive) to get you past the lockscreen, after which you can go to the Play Store and install another keyboard app.
