I just rooted my brand new 1+3 and put CM13 on it, with TWRP recovery. I haven't set any sort of screen guard or fingerprint yet, since I'm not sure if that will end up encrypting the disk as well.
I've seen other posts about how people could not use the recovery because it prompted for a password - and typing the PIN didn't work for them. I have already taken a nandroid backup of the original OxygenOS, and saved it elsewhere (i.e. not on the phone). So if I go ahead and set a password, will it cause any problems later, if I have to use the recovery? Is it better to stick to a PIN instead of the pattern lock?
Edit - now when I go into recovery, the log says 'successfully decrypted with default password'. What's this default password? If I set a screen PIN, will it change to the PIN, or is it something else? Will setting the PIN/fingerprint prevent me from mounting data as I can now?
