How to graphically enter Password to unlock encrypted disk
Is there some way I can unlock my btrfs encrypted disk using a graphical unlocking screen.
Basically I was setting up an On-screen keyboard so that I can use my PC in case I do not have a keyboard available. Only problem in setup is that I can't find anyway to use on-screen keyboard on that screen on which we enter password to decrypt disk.
Help please

What's the use case? Is there a reason that the disk is not unlocked at boot/login?
They're using full disk encryption, which won't let any part of it be read (even its partition table to boot the OS) until a password is entered. A system using FDE will go straight from POST to a password prompt.
A lot of people like FDE as it makes the encryption completely invisible to the OS and would normally have zero compatibility issues be problem-free.
