Public bug reported:
The screen locker is broken and unlocking is not possible anymore. In
order to unlock it, switch to a virtual terminal (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F2), log
in to your account and execute the command:
loginctl unlock-session 37
Then log out of the virtual session by pressing Ctrl+D, and switch back
to the running session (Ctrl+Alt+F7). Should you have forgotten the
instructions, you can get back to this screen by pressing CTRL+ALT+F37
