How do I unlock the screen?

I just installed 18.04 and after a few minutes the screen locks and I have no idea how to unlock it, so I have to restart the machine. There must be a simple way, but no suggestions jump at me.

After the timeout set in Settings > Power > Blank Screen, the screen will switch to a large digital clock and you will need to login again. Start typing your password and the clock will disappear and you'll see the login screen, complete your password and press Return.
