After software update unable to enter a password for restarting the phone.

After a resent software update, I can no longer enter in my PASSWORD to my Galaxy S9+ when the phone is restarted. Instead it asks for a PIN. I don't have a PIN, just PASSWORD. I don't get a keyboard to type in my password. How do I get the password option back? I simply have to be able to use my phone.
