1) Stop AEM 6 instance

2) Place the package reset_admin_pass_to_admin.zip in <AEM_Home>/crx-quickstart/install (create it, if there isn't one)

3) Start AEM 6 instance

4) Package should have gotten installed as shown below. It contains /home/users/a/admin/.content.xml with rep:password set to text admin encrypted 

5) Login as admin/admin
