Django - accidently removed superuser

Question

I am using Django 1.4.5 and accidentally deleted the superuser. How can I recreate the superuser account for an existing project? I found tutorials that show to do it when initially setting up a project but can't figure out how to create a superuser for an existing project.

I did try django-admin.py createsuperuser in the terminal without any luck

I apprecite the time and feedback.

should I add the "username" and "password" to the command when submitting? — bbrooke, Apr 21 '13 at 17:50
that won't change a bit, since createsuperuser cannot be found. Try out what Vladislav suggested :) — Samuele Mattiuzzo, Apr 21 '13 at 17:52
