You have nothing else to do to

1) Go to install tool
2) Try to login with whichever password you choose, it will fail
3) Copy the hash that is shown (corresponding to the password you entered)
4) Put that hash in localconf.php / LocalConfiguration.php (last
occurence if you have many)
5) Retry, it will work
