Somehow, I activated the on-screen keyboard (Onboard) in the unlock screen and I can't deactivate it now. I've restarted the computer, but it's still there in the unlock screen.
How can I deactivate the on-screen keyboard in the unlock screen?

After a bit of searching in dconf-editor (inspired by the other answers and not gconf), I found the schema
org → cinnamon → desktop → lockdown
which contains a key called disable-lock-screen, set that to true (checked) to disable the Cinnamon lock screen.
Command Line
To turn lock screen off:
gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen true
To turn back on:
gsettings set org.cinnamon.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen false
Go to TTY and run the command:
sleep 5; xdotool type <yourpassword>; xdotool key Return
and then go back to the login screen and click in the password box. Wait ~5 secs and your password will be typed and enter will have been pressed.
