You can put the password in with your braille display but you have to have contractions off and I think it matters whether eight-dot is on or off too but I can't remember which way it has to be. You should hear a sound shortly after you hit the power button to unlock and braille from the unlock screen should be visible on your display; then you just go to the password field if necessary and type in your passcode. If it doesn't work, I immediately do a chord-g because it usually means I have contractions on. But I remember also that at one time I had problems with this and all passwords because of the way eight-dot was toggled.
