Forgotten admin password on a FileZilla server 1.6.1

Hello,
Anyone have any tips on how to reset a forgotten admin password on a FileZilla server 1.6.1?
The server is running, ftp can be accessed but I can't connect to the admin interface because it says wrong password. ( even though I think I know it right :) )
The method on the official site (https://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Password_reset) only works up to 1.4.1, but I can't find anything specific about the version above that.
(I can't even find the server config file itself... where is it?)

Thanks in advance for any tips.

The method works also after 1.4.1, the "until v1.4.1" probably refers to the location of the file itself.

The file, in case the user which the service is running under is SYSTEM (the default one, unless it was specified otherwise), is located under %PROGRAMDATA%\filezilla-server
