Galaxy S5: How can I get my keyboard back?

[AC Question]

While typing a text message today, the keyboard disappeared. After some time of course, it went to lock screen. Now, I can't type into the password field because the keyboard is still not presenting itself.

I've tried rebooting, including power-down reboot. I've tried clearing the cache partition, with no luck.

The phone had been getting slower and slower, with the battery life becoming shorter and shorter. Something clearly getting in the way, but I couldn't figure it out.

Thinking that I need a factory reset now, but, only if I'm out of options.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like factory reset is the only way out. If can, try backup your phine first. But i dont think you can backup your phone since you are locked out from your phone.
