Windows Django: Error: You don't have permission to access that port

Question

I am trying to run a Django project in Windows but I am getting Error: You don't have permission to access that port. Running python manage.py runserver and python manage.py runserver "IP":"PORT" returned same result/error. I searched for answers but most or all of them are for Linux.

Here are the settings.py and manage.py file

settings.py

Try changing the ports in your settings.py instead of default 8080 port

from django.core.management.commands.runserver import Command as rs
rs.default_port='5000'
