Changing password in Django Admin

Question

I recently created the admin.py based in the Django Project Document:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/customizing/#django.contrib.auth.models

Answer 1

For a django version independent solution you can reverse the url in the UserChangeForm.__init__ with something like:

from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse

class UserChangeForm(forms.ModelForm):
    password = ReadOnlyPasswordHashField()
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['password'].help_text = (
            "Raw passwords are not stored, so there is no way to see "
            "this user's password, but you can  "
            "Change the Password using this form."
        ) % reverse_lazy('admin:auth_user_password_change', args=[self.instance.id])
