Description of problem:
After installation of fedora, I ran g-i-s and select mr-itrans as input method and lock the screen.
At the time of installation I had chosen English password but now only one input method is visible. I can't log into system.
I have attached screenshot for reference.

This is sort of a duplicate of bug#1148358, where I reported the same
problem for Japanese.

But for Japanese the problem is less bad than what we have here
for Marathi because of 2 reasons:

1) Japanese input methods do get disabled automatically on the lock
   screen password widget.
   Because of bug#1151429, ibus-m17n input methods like mr-itrans
   do not get disabled automatically on the lock screen (old bug
   which exists already in f20). And the ibus-m17n input methods
   do not have a direct input mode so one is really screwed
   when no other input method is available on the lock screen.

2) The Japanese input methods have a direct input
   mode, i.e. even the Japanese input method is the
   only one configured *and* even if this fails to be disabled
   on the lock screen, one can still switch to the direct mode
   of the Japanese input method manually to input the password.
   (see bug#1151429, all ibus input methods were enabled on the lock
   screen in f21 alpha versions for a while but then the problem
   disappeared (reason unknown) and remained only for
   the ibus-m17n input methods)
