Changing password to the same one?
Why on Earth I can't do this straight from the box? Does Pro mean nothing in the name of the computer?
P.S. I did it, but took me more time than necessary.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

BTW:
You are sign in here . . . with your Apple ID & Password.
Your Apple ID is the personal account you use with all Apple products and services. It includes the email address and password you use to sign in, as well as the contact, payment, and security details that you use with Apple.
You can’t merge multiple Apple ID accounts.
What happens when you use the same Apple ID & Password that you use to sign in here?
