Windows 10: Strange initial screen - has anyone seen this before?

Hi everybody,

I have a question. I bought a new Microsoft Surface Pro and was greeted with the attached screen (I blackened some unnecessary reflections of the screen and the two white parts showed the same 7-digit number). This somehow looks dubious to me. I was asking myself: Could this be a virus? Or did I get a returned surface instead of a new one (which I paid for)?

Since I couldn't find anything on the internet, I now hope for your help. To enable future users with the same issue to find something with a search engine, I'll write down some of the lines the screen shows:
* "TestCase 05: Re_Enable Code integrity"
* "PCH_Value:"
* "Resetting OOBE ExplorerStartCount Property in Registry ...UserOOBE"
* "Resetting OOBE UserSignedIn Property in Registry"
* "TestCase 06: Manual check for black lines"
* "PASS: *******" (a 7-digit number)
* "Remove Keyboard Accessory to Shutdown"

Does anyone know the meaning of this screen?
What is this password for?

I much appreciate your help!

EDIT: changed title to be more meaningful

:)
