djanog shell change password
To change a user's password using the Django shell, follow these steps:
Open the Django shell by running the command
python manage.py shell
in your project's root directory.Import the necessary modules by entering the following commands:
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from django.contrib.auth.hashers import make_password
The User
module allows us to access and modify user information, while the make_password
module helps us securely hash the new password.
- Find the user whose password you want to change by running the following command:
user = User.objects.get(username='username')
Replace 'username'
with the actual username of the user.
- Generate a new hashed password by running the following command:
new_password = make_password('new_password')
Replace 'new_password'
with the desired new password.
- Set the user's password to the new hashed password by running the following command:
user.password = new_password
user.save()
That's it! The user's password has now been changed. Remember to replace 'username'
and 'new_password'
with the appropriate values for your use case.
