unlock bug
When I entered wrong passwoed after restarting my phone, the following message appeared. (I remember my correct password but I just missed typing)
So, I intended to enter "SONY" but I was not able to enter the word because only numeric keyboard was available.
What shoul I do to use normal keyboard?

Thank you, uliwooly. I have already tried safe mode, however, I was not able to solve this problem.

Does that mean that you get the same notification even in Safe mode? could you provide an image/picture ?

Yes, the message to enter SONY is shown even if safe mode.
I took a photo the message.

That's interesting, what if you long press the numbers, in this case long press 7 so maybe an S will be available 7 6 6 9 (S O N Y)

I don't see the picture you attached but you can try using a usb c to usb a adaptor and plugging a wireless keyboard into it.
I have a cheap Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse combo I do that with and it works on all my android phones.

Hi @mtmtppp
This is an example how you can type with a computer keyboard.
In this case it is a mouse.
A keyboard will function as well.
PS
A card reader of this type is a good investment.

Thank you, Darksteel165.
This time, I used Xperia Companion to reset my device.
Next time, I will try the method you advised.
