Why won't my Note 10.1 will not give me the option to type in my password?

[AC Question]

When I turn on my tablet, the lock screen comes up like normal, but it is not giving me a way to type in the password.

Welcome to Android Central! Do you mean that you see the password entry field, but the keyboard won't appear? Or do you not even see the password entry field?
