Alphabetical lock screen

After reboot, the alphabetical lock screen keypad disappeared. Only numerical one. I cannot unlock my phone as the passcode has letters in it.

iPhone SE, iOS 16

If your iPhone's lock screen keypad is only displaying numbers after a reboot, try these steps:


1. **Restart your iPhone**: Sometimes, a simple restart can fix minor software glitches.


2. **Reset All Settings**: If the restart doesn't work, you can try resetting all settings on your iPhone. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. This won't erase your data but will reset settings like display, network, keyboard, etc.


3. **Update iOS**: Make sure your iPhone is running the latest version of iOS. Go to Settings > General > Software Update to check for and install any available updates.


4. **Restore iPhone**: If the issue persists, you may need to restore your iPhone using iTunes or Finder on a computer. Make sure to back up your iPhone first to avoid data loss.


If none of these solutions work, it might be best to contact Apple Support for further assistance.
