Choose power off before screen restarts try holding power and volume up same time to get into recovery and do factory reset

Why won't my gboard popup on my lockscreen
I have a ZTE blade z but when I try to unlock my phone, the virtual keyboard won't come up. It requires the password whenever I restart my phone and I can't use my fingerprint to get in because it still require the password. I press and hold the button that allow me to put it the password but the keyboard won't come up. Is there anyway to get in without factory reset? Please help

Re: All of a sudden my ZTE blade doesn't have a keyboard anymore.
Welcome to the forums. You are using Gboard, right? Try closing it from Recent apps and then clear cache from settings - apps - Gboard. Tell us how it goes.
I would recommend you to create an account so you can reply on this thread.

Why won't my keyboard appear on my lock screen?
I have a ZTE model Z981. When I turn my phone on, it says "To start Android, enter your password". That is normal. The keyboard will appear like normal, and I can type in my password. Like normal it will say "starting android", and the "metro PCS On The Nationwide T-Mobile Network" will appear. Afterwards it will go to my lock screen like normal. I have it set to require my password a 2nd time to unlock my phone. However, that 2nd time, the keyboard will not appear. When this happened in the past, I fixed it by pressing "emergency call", and then going back to the lock screen that tells me to enter my password. That method no longer works for me, unfortunately. I have already tried "power off", "reboot", and an alternative restart.

Re: Why won't my keyboard appear on my lock screen?
I made an account and Safe mode did not work for me btw. I heard that ZTE was not compatible with USB OTG. What keyboard should I get for my phone if there is one compatible with it? I would hate to lose all my photos (especially since this happened on my birthday yesterday).

Re: Why won't my keyboard appear on my lock screen?
I don't have a bluetooth keyboard to log in with. How do I install a secondary keyboard app from google play like the article said if I can't even log into my phone to do so?
