Don’t worry about your old password. No need to remove the old password, it will be removed automatically. After setting the PIN, you will automatically be prompted for the PIN and not for the password. After completing your PIN entry, you don’t even need to press the Enter key. The system automatically logs you in when you enter the last digit of your PIN.
