    When VoiceOver is enabled, unlocking the phone is a little different. Tap the "Slide to Unlock" slider once, and then tap it twice quickly. If it's necessary to enter a passcode, tap the first number of the passcode once, then double-tap it to select it. Then do that with the next number in the passcode.
