Unable to Change PIN: BMV-712 Smart

My BMV-712 PIN is still set to the factory default '000000' and I am trying to change it to my own PIN. I have unpaired all of my (Android) devices from the Victron controller. When I select PIN code reset in the app and enter the PUK code, I continuously get this message in the app. However, I never have the opportunity to set my desired PIN. When I click OK, the app takes me back to the Device List. What am I doing wrong?

You have to connect to the device to change the PIN.

After the first connection there should be a pop-up to do that or you have to go to the settings.

Perfect, thank you. I was resetting the PIN to default rather than changing it. My mistake.
