You'll have to import the user model from `core` app – Brian Destura Apr 12 '22 at 02:08

@BrianDestura If I use `from django.contrib.core.models import User` it show this error **Traceback (most recent call last): File "
", line 1, in – Rami Apr 12 '22 at 02:14ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django.contrib.core'** -
Did you change your user model using `AUTH_USER_MODEL`? if so, you need to use that app's user model. – Brian Destura Apr 12 '22 at 02:16

@BrianDestura No I don't, how can I use this command `AUTH_USER_MODEL` ? – Rami Apr 12 '22 at 02:37

You should use
python manage.py changepassword <user_name>
manage.py changepassword username offers a method of changing a user’s password from the command line.

Yeah it was meant to be a placeholder... my bad (this is provided that the admin's name is `admin`) – crimsonpython24 Apr 12 '22 at 02:21

I tried without `<` and `>` and this is the error : **CommandError: user 'admin' does not exist** – Rami Apr 12 '22 at 02:40
