there is nothing under /home/users/a/ in my case, admin user node is placed under different (random) path which I find out by following the first comment from arunp99088702.

admin node path is different on each of the install instances of 6.1.

Did you follow this procedure exactly as is - it will create another user for you...

Method 1

Create a package from another instance that includes the /home/users/a/admin (dev, staging, and so on) where you know the password. Download that package and copy it into crx-quickstart/install folder (create that folder if not existing). The package is installed and the user information updated, including the password.

Thank you for your help, but the problem is I do not have another user with rights to access /useradmin.

You can go to the instance where you want to change the password using other account

and from useradmin console you can get the path like above.

Hi,

make sure ".tokens" are excluded under the admin node while packaging.
