If you just want to type the password and the screen is bad you fix that.
However if you need to type and can't I do know that some phones support the run of the mill USB Keyboard. Here's an article about that.

this Phone has been in a box in pieces with another S4 for over 6months. They died the same day. One slipped into a steaming hot foot soaker.. clearly this was not the i537 S4 active. I died from no charger plug in. I have just replaced the power board , it now charges I too, have a screen to replace. However I do not want to switch out screen unless the phone is once again functioning. I have gone to the Samsung site and changed my password for the site. I now need to reset lock screen setting after I get access into phone. It was previously running a sim from FreedomPop. Would like to reestablish the global LTe free service. I have the phone plugged into PC hoping to be able to gain access that way it is being recognized as a media device right now. PLEASE any legit help will be greatly remembered
