This is because the wizard is designed to be run when there isn't a
password already set.  If there is a password set, it can't change it
without knowing the current password.  (Just like how on the desktop, you
need to confirm the current password before the system lets you change to a
new password.)

But it is an annoyance that the wizard gives you the expectation that it
will set a new password.  We should probably skip those pages if there is
already a password set.
