I guess I can try the Official one and see with that for now.
And there it is...

no text editors

no sudo

don't know the root password, so can't su

That means no package manager

leaves me with cat

and sed...

Looks like the file you need is actually /config/config/system.xml

so the command to "reset" it would be:
sed -i -e 's:<IsStartupWizardCompleted>true:<IsStartupWizardCompleted>false:g' /config/config/system.xml

you can use cat /config/config/system.xml before and after the sed command to check what the file looks like.

Then you need to stop and start the app and clear all cookies and site data from your browser before you will see the wizard again to set up your user.
