Probably not very relevant but numeric only password is very much easier to hack than alphanumeric or even just numeric given same length and not using easy to guess values.
A PIN in addition to password gives more options to login and the PIN isn't used quite in the same way. If the PIN fails you can use the local password to re-establish the connection.
