The password for the screen lock is also the password of the OS (when you setup the password it asks if you want to password lock the boot sequence as well, so this won't work in a downgrade and will require a factory reset, that's to be expected in any downgrade when databases change).
Sure, you don't get ZenUI, but if we are going to be honest, was it ever really reliable for us? A lot of us had nothing but issues. Sure you may not have had a problem, but the software was buggy. Going AOSP allows a fresh Android experience, and on top of that, ASUS DID warn you if you rely on ZenUI features, do not upgrade. (I'm surprised people still did it and complain later as if they didn't heed the warnings all over the download link).
As an Android dev, I find the AOSP beta frankly more reliable than the ZenUI ROM. Less issues, less bloatware, but if you like that, that's fine. I for one welcome the pure Android experience, because now I can use other free solutions including Google's own backup solutions. They all work now, and the phone dialer, might I add, being a PHONE, is WAY better than Zen UI's. I now got spam block and a working caller ID lookup, which Zen UI simply never offered. So yea, as a dev who understands that this is a phone, I'd like my phone working better *as* a phone.
