It is a limitation of phosh. The user password has to be digits only as the irksome security screen (that I wish I could get rid of) only provides a keyboard with digits!

I've found that if you hang a KB off of the phone it will allow you to connect to it before the PIN screen, however, I have not tried to us a complex password as a PIN. I reinstalled Phosh, and the latest didn't allow me to encrypt the file system.
I may have to try another disto, however, I've loaded so many applications it may not happen for a bit.
