Public bug reported:

Earlier, I switched my ibus daemon to the Japanese/anthy input mode and
locked my screen. I couldn't key in my password (consisting solely of
ascii characters), as it appeared to be inputting everything in Japanese
(the typical underlines were there, but everything was starred as it was
a password input field).

There didn't appear to be a way to switch it back to a standard qwerty
input mode, so I was kind of stuck.

Workaround:
I managed to get back in by activating the switch user menu item and logging 
back in from there.
