• you can disable this feature if you would like at set up by the "do not ask again" box
• This is not a theft deterrence feature. It seems like it is more in order to comply with EU identity protection regulations
• You can reset the password, but it will wipe all settings (including personal information) from the camera. Which, if implemented how I understand, is why it is not a theft deterrence (feature).
