No latin keyboard, can't type password.

I had some fun trying to spot the differences between the cyrillic keyboards (ru/kk/mk/bg), 5 seconds later i realized how screwed i was since i could not switch back to a latin keyboard and unlock my phone. Help please.

There isn't much of a way around this, unless you can unlock your phone, the other alternative it's factory reset.

I've seen people speaking of a being able to use a gmail password after a set of failed attempts.

Also, my phone used to crash a lot, the next time i would turn it on, it would take a minute until the lock screen appears, giving enough time to get to the settings menu, can i make that happen?

You can use Android Device Manager or MyXperia BUT it will be pointless as you will need to use the keyboard to input the new passcode

I totally forgot about that, follow @Phy's suggestion

Hopefully that'll work cause i actually know the password I just can't type it, next time i'll use one that only consists of numbers since all the keyboards have the same non letter characters.

It won't let me login with google even though google says that i've linked my phone to my account.

I also have a little warning triangle showing up on my phone.

I can't see the picture until it gets approved by a moderator, you could wait or upload it to box, dropbox, drive, onedrive, etc and post the link here
