How to reset Django admin password?

Question

I am using Django (version 1.3) and have forgotten both admin username and password. How to reset both?

And is it possible to make a normal user into admin, and then

Answer 1

if you forget your admin then you need to create new user by using

python manage.py createsuperuser 

and for password there is CLI command changepassword for django to change user password

python manage.py changepassword 

OR

django-admin changepassword 

OR Run this code in Django env

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
u = User.objects.get(username='john')
u.set_password('new password')
u.save()
