Wizard does not change user password if one is pre-set

[Pat McGowan]

Whatever is selected (swipe, passcode, password) during the wizard is not set and the default code of 0000 is required

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

This is because the user in the emulator is created with a password (--password option to emulator), the wizard would then have to ask the user for the initial password to be able to change it. We could potentially skip the password screens when a password is set already.

One more thing is we're planning to differentiate between "admin" password (which would be the actual posix user password), and an "unlock" one, which would only be used on the lock screen. The admin password would be required for sudo, home folder encryption etc.

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

Oh and it's the same situation when you flash your device with --developer-mode --password.

[Michael Terry (mterry)]

Ugh, yeah, we occasionally get a bug about this. It's probably worth the time to do a developer-eyes-only fix for this situation that says "Skipping password creation because you already have one" or something.
