There is a time when I forgot my password for Django admin. You can create new one using createsuperuser, but if you want to reset your available account you can use django shell :

python manage.py shell

Now, get your account and set new password.

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
 
user = User.objects.get(username='admin')
user.set_password('new_password')
user.save()

That’s it, your new password will get you in.
