In case you do not know the usernames as created here  You can get the users as described by  FallenAngel above   python manage py shell  from django contrib auth models import User usrs   User objects filter is superuser True   identify the user your user   usrs filter username  yourusername   0   youruser   usrs get username  yourusername    then set the password   However in the event that you created your independent user model  A simple case is when you want to use email as a username instead of the default user name  In which case your user model lives somewhere such as your accounts app models then the above solution wont work  In this case you can instead use the get user model method   from django contrib auth import get user model  super users   get user model   objects filter is superuser True   proceed to get identify your user   and set their user password

Another thing that is worth noting is to set your user s status is staff as active  At least  that s what makes it works for me  For more detail  I created another superuser as people explained above  Then I go to the database table auth user and search for that username to make sure its is staff flag is set to 1  That finally allowed me to log into admin site

One of the best ways to retrieve the username and password is to view and update them  The User Model provides a perfect way to do so  In this case  I m using Django 1 9  Navigate to your root directory i e  where you  quot manage py quot  file is located using your console or other application such as Git   Retrieve the Python shell using the command   quot python manage py shell quot    Import the User Model by typing the following command  quot from django contrib auth models import User quot   Get all the users by typing the following command  quot users   User objects all   quot   Print a list of the users For Python 2 users use the command  quot print users quot  For Python 3 users use the command  quot print users  quot  The first user is usually the admin   Select the user you wish to change their password e g   quot user   users 0  quot   Set the password user set password  name of the new password for user selected    Save the new password  quot user save   quot    Start the server and log in using the username and the updated password

Two ways to do this   The changepassword management command    env    python manage py changepassword  lt username gt    Or  which expands upon a few answers  but works for any extended User model  using the django-admin shell as follows    env    python manage py shell   This should bring up the shell command prompt as follows   Python 3 7 2  default  Mar 27 2019  08 44 46    GCC 6 3 0 20170516  on linux Type  help    copyright    credits  or  license  for more information   InteractiveConsole   gt  gt  gt    Then you would want the following    gt  gt  gt  from django contrib auth import get user model  gt  gt  gt  User   get user model    gt  gt  gt  user   User objects get username  admin hug com    gt  gt  gt  user set password  new password    gt  gt  gt  user save    gt  gt  gt  exit     N B  Why have I answered this question with this answer   Because  as mentioned  User   get user model   will work for your own custom User models  Using from django contrib auth models import User then User objects get username  username   may throw the following error   AttributeError  Manager isn t available   auth User  has been swapped for  users User
