Timo, looks like I never actually explained what's going on behind the
scenes in this bug.  There are two things going on in your workflow:

1) ubuntu-device-flash treats the --password argument as a passphrase
always.  Ideally it would inspect and see if it looks like a PIN, then
set it as such.

2) The wizard can't override an existing password for the user.  Ideally
if a password was already set, those pages would be skipped or grayed
out or something.

So that's two poor usability issues combining to be confusing when
flashing with --password.  But it's not a bug normal users see, just
developers.  I'd argue both could/should be fixed.  But they just
haven't been a priority.

** Summary changed:

- [wizard] 4-digit passcode code gets set incorrectly as "passphrase" on first 
run
+ [wizard] 4-digit passcode code gets set incorrectly as "passphrase" on first 
run when flashing with --password
