How to change Django superuser name?

Question

Is there a way to change Django superuser name through cmd windows? If not, what is the other option(s)?

Answer 1

When you say "name" it could be either first_name, last_name or the username You can do this:

Open cmd, and navigate to the folder with manage.py There

$ python manage.py shell
> from django.contrib.auth.models import User
> user = User.objects.get(username=<superuser's username>) #or email=<email>
> user.first_name = 'first_name'
> user.last_name = 'last_name'
> user.username = 'username' #make sure it is unique
> user.save()

Another option is to go to your database table auth_user and change it there.
