Just one more thing to @Kevin Brown's solution.

Since partial update will also execute perform_update, it would be better to add extra code as following.

def perform_update(self, serializer):                                                           
    if 'password' in self.request.data:
        password = make_password(self.request.data['password'])                                 
        serializer.save(password=password)                                                      
    else:
        serializer.save()
