Let me be quite sure 
that your /home partition didn’t expand as expected, therefore no welcome screen. Your next step would be to … start from scratch, no big deal.
The problem is that I don’t have set a decryption password. The phone is brand new, still charging the first charge.
The initial password is 123456. We’re aware that some manuals come without this password clearly disclosed. You can change it later.

Do you think that @dav69 might be in situation where it is needed usage of JumpDrive to expand /home? Asking while in situation where Librem 5 powered on (if so) with almost empty battery it might happen that there related partition (either plain or encrypted one) would not expand because Librem 5 would shut down in the middle of the initial install process (not completing it properly). Just trying to help, nothing else, trying to understand which kind of help needed there.
Yes but only after getting advice to disconnect the charger and long press on the power key.
I also found out that changing the password for the lock screen has a negative effect on the decryption of the phone. The decryption password stays 123456 and gives error messages of failed decryption.
I changed the password back to 233456 and everything turned to normal.
Thank you for the help.

Yes.
The decryption password and the login password are totally separate passwords. Changing one will not change the other. Therefore if you want them to be the same (and not the insecure default) then you need to change each separately.
Why do I get decryption error messages after having changed the user password? Any ideas?
Thank you
In the documentation section of Purism it explains how to change the users password but I could not find how to change Lock Screen password?
Any ideas?
Thank you.
Use the passwd command in terminal. This sets the user password and the lock screen password. (Not to be confused with the decryption password.)

I am confused! The user password is the lockscreen password.
The decryption screen is the 123456 password right?
I went with the non-Luks-encrypted version of byzantium when I flashed it, so I can’t advise about that. Maybe someone else can explain it.
With the non-Luks version, there is first a locked screen where one has to enter the user password. Then the home screen appears. Some apps, such as the backups app also require the user password, and of course when using sudo in the terminal. Then every time the screen locks, the user password has to be entered again.

Not how I would word it. The default password (123456) is the same initially for both, the disc decryption and for user actions like lock screen (which include admin/root actions via sudo etc.). So, the user password opens the lock screen. The disc decryption (LUKS is used by default - or at least was for me a few moths ago with Evergreen) key/password is not linked to it - it just happens to have the same default.
Remember to change both and make them different.
@dav69, please read carefully, user related one (not partition related one):
Please use numbers (for time being) only:
$ man passwd $ q −− type q to exit
EDIT:
Correct.

My user password for months now is alphanumeric, not just numeric. No problems at all so far.

You can change the decryption password in the “disks” application: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/librem5-user-docs/-/issues/7#note_203026
