Digital Keyboard Won't open, Not even on lock screen

[Android Central Question]

ZTE Tracfone. I was just browsing when suddenly the keyboard won't open. Not even on the lock screen Password. So I cannot log into my own phone. I've reset it multiple times, manual and even holding the power button down. won't work.

Try clearing the cache for the keyboard. If that doesn't work, delete keyboard app data,, then restart phone

Have you tried safe mode if the keyboard will work? I'll leave a link to register so you can communicate here , as a guest account you can't.https://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=409154

what is safe mode?

Safe mode is similar to putting your computer in this mode it will disable any 3rd party apps and use the native ones
