Description

I have some clients deployed with a custom client using a preset device password.

I have added them to an address book and use the Set password button, input a new password (with no special characters), but the password on the client doesn't change.

Server Version: 1.7.2 (have been trying since 1.6.3)
Client Version: 1.4.4 (have been trying since 1.4.0)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the address book Set password flow with the reported custom client and server/client versions, especially the preset-password configuration. Trace whether the new password reaches the client; done means the client accepts the newly set password rather than retaining the preset one.
