cd /home/ec2-user/quay-install/sqlite-storage

sqlite3	quay_sqlite.db
sqlite3 /sqlite-storage/quay_sqlite.db
sqlite> UPDATE user SET password_hash = 'HASH_FROM_STEP_1' WHERE username = 'init';
sqlite> UPDATE user SET invalid_login_attempts = 0 WHERE username = 'init';
sqlite> quit

exit

Restart the quay app service
