Drop aem-password-reset-content-<version>.zip into <aem-home>/crx-quickstart/install (create the install folder if it isn't there).
The bundle contains an activator that will execute as soon as the bundle is installed (see Activator.java).
The contents of logs/error.log should look something like this:

This bundle activator may take a pre-configured list of authorizable IDs via an OSGi configuration file.
/apps/system/config/com.shinesolutions.aem.passwordreset.Activator:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jcr:root xmlns:sling="http://sling.apache.org/jcr/sling/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0"
jcr:primaryType="sling:OsgiConfig"
pwdreset.authorizables="[admin,deployer,importer]"/>
With this configuration, the password for deployer will be reset to deployer, the password for importer will be reset to importer, etc.
Note: a change to the OSGI configuration will trigger a restart of the bundle which will reset the passwords.
