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.
