Answer 4

The best way is to just go to your terminal and type

python manage.py createsuperuser

and insert another password and user name again but u will lost some of your profile that u have created before in most cases.

Answer 5

You may try through console:

python manage.py shell

then use following script in shell

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
User.objects.filter(is_superuser=True)

will list you all super users on the system. if you recognize yur username from the list:

usr = User.objects.get(username='your username')
usr.set_password('raw password')
usr.save()

and you set a new password (:

You may try this:

1.Change Superuser password without console
