Reloading unity restores the password input on the login screen for me (Ubuntu 14.04 with a Nvidia GPU).
Switch to an alternate terminal using Ctrl+Alt+F1.
Reload unity with:
nohup unity --replace &
Switch back to your graphical terminal using Ctrl+Alt+F7. You may have to wait several seconds if you see a black screen.
Unity sort of works after this but you can at least save your work in progress:
The compiz grid plugin seems to think multiple monitors are now a single monitor.
The global menu bar no longer works.
Menus in window title bars no longer work (if enabled).
Custom global keyboard shortcuts don't work.
Note: In more recent versions, the --replace option is deprecated. :(

I had the same problem on an HP with Radeon 6370 graphics. I'm still using open source graphics, but I'm using the versions that came from the oibaf repository - they are a little 'edgier' than the stock open source, but not as edgy as xorg-edgers.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
installs the drivers
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
removes the drivers.
Tried this one, and it didn't seem to work. Did I have to reboot after installing the new drivers?

I had the same problem on an HP with Radeon 6370 graphics. I'm still using open source graphics, but I'm using the versions that came from the oibaf repository - they are a little 'edgier' than the stock open source, but not as edgy as xorg-edgers.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers

This can be worked around without losing your session by:
- Switch to a tty (e.g.
Ctrl+Alt+F1
) - Log in
- Run:
sudo loginctl unlock-sessions
- Switch back to the Desktop:
Ctrl+Alt+F7
(or F8).

This can be worked around without losing your session by:
- Switch to a tty (e.g.
Ctrl+Alt+F1
) - Log in
- Run:
sudo loginctl unlock-sessions
- Switch back to the Desktop:
Ctrl+Alt+F7
(or F8).

Had the same problem, mostly occuring when training neural networks using
Caffe
.unity --replace
makes the login screen go away, but everything else seems corrupted. So I still had to reboot :(– mcExchange
