Pin unlock screen shows blank letters and numbers

[Smaff]

Hello, I just registered to try and help my girlfriend with an issue on her Galaxy S5.
Her lock screen today started displaying blank white boxes where there should be numbers and letters, as seen in picture below. :-\ It still unlocks fine however.
She upgraded to Lollipop at the weekend so i'm assuming a bug related to the update.
Anyone seen this or know what could fix it? Thanks for any advice

That's a strange one.
Try a battery pull & then clear the cache - always good first steps
If the problem persists report back here.

Thanks for your reply systemofadown1, I will suggest this to her!

My s5 has just started this, is there a way to solve it?

Hi San151820, the problem solved itself when she restarted her phone twice.
She had restarted once already before I posted here but tried again after encountering more bugs, she seems happy now so hopefully that fixes it for you.

I'm having this same issue! It's happened twice now. The first time, I restarted my phone and that worked. This has never happened until a few weeks ago. Can anyone tell me what could be causing it? Thanks

I read on a different website that it's an issue with swiftkey and google. Try uninstalling swiftkey since you can't uninstall google lol
