It turned out that the server was upgraded from PHP 5.3.x to PHP 5.5.x 
after installing TYPO3. PHP 5.3 used APC for opcode cache, but also as 
extbase cache. In PHP 5.5 OPcache is active by default and APC was 
deactivated in PHP (it's a development machine and a different cache for 
TYPO3 / extbase will be installed).

Because we couldn't login into the Install Tool the setting of APC for 
extbase caching wasn't removed, but it seems to cause problems when 
changing the Install Tool password.

Solution:
1. Use new Install Tool password in login screen, copy the hash that is 
displayed
2. Put new hash in LocalConfiguration.php
3. Restart Apache
4. Login with new password into Install Tool
