How do I reset (or set) my username and password to access admin?

[J. Maceo Quintanar]

Hello, I would appreciate your help on this. 

When installing wagtail I wasn't prompted to set up a username or a password. So now I can't access the admin interface. Anybody know where can I set this info up?

Hi,
You can set up a new admin user by running "./manage.py createsuperuser" on the command line.

Normally, the installation steps should include this (either during "./manage.py migrate", or "./manage.py createsuperuser" if using Vagrant) - if it doesn't, that's something we ought to fix. Can I ask which installation documentation you're following?

Cheers,

Hello Matt,

That worked perfectly. Thanks!

So I followed the instructions to create a new project from scratch: A basic wagtail installation. After creating the project's directory, I ran the steps documented in the section "without Vagrant". There it said that the migrate step was going to prompt me to create a superuser account, but this never happened. When I ran "./manage.py migrate", this is what followed: 

Operations to perform:

  Synchronize unmigrated apps: wagtailsnippets, compressor, modelcluster

  Apply all migrations: core, wagtailusers, wagtailembeds, wagtailadmin, sessions, admin, wagtailcore, auth, contenttypes, wagtaildocs, taggit, wagtailsearch, wagtailforms, wagtailredirects, wagtailimages

Synchronizing apps without migrations:

  Creating tables...

  Installing custom SQL...

  Installing indexes...

Running migrations:

  Applying contenttypes.0001_initial... OK

  Applying auth.0001_initial... OK

  Applying admin.0001_initial... OK

  Applying wagtailcore.0001_initial... OK

  Applying wagtailcore.0002_initial_data... OK

  Applying wagtailcore.0003_add_uniqueness_constraint_on_group_page_permission... OK

  Applying wagtailcore.0004_page_locked... OK

  Applying wagtailcore.0005_add_page_lock_permission_to_moderators... OK

  Applying wagtailcore.0006_add_lock_page_permission... OK

  Applying wagtailcore.0007_page_latest_revision_created_at... OK

  Applying wagtailcore.0008_populate_latest_revision_created_at... OK

  Applying wagtailcore.0009_remove_auto_now_add_from_pagerevision_created_at... OK

  Applying wagtailcore.0010_change_page_owner_to_null_on_delete... OK

  Applying core.0001_initial... OK

  Applying core.0002_create_homepage... OK

  Applying sessions.0001_initial... OK

  Applying taggit.0001_initial... OK

  Applying wagtailadmin.0001_create_admin_access_permissions... OK

  Applying wagtaildocs.0001_initial... OK

  Applying wagtaildocs.0002_initial_data... OK

  Applying wagtailembeds.0001_initial... OK

  Applying wagtailforms.0001_initial... OK

  Applying wagtailimages.0001_initial... OK

  Applying wagtailimages.0002_initial_data... OK

  Applying wagtailimages.0003_fix_focal_point_fields... OK

  Applying wagtailimages.0004_make_focal_point_key_not_nullable... OK

  Applying wagtailimages.0005_make_filter_spec_unique... OK

  Applying wagtailredirects.0001_initial... OK

  Applying wagtailsearch.0001_initial... OK

  Applying wagtailusers.0001_initial... OK

Then I just ran ./manage.py runserver, overlooking the fact that I hadn't created a superuser.

Ah, now I see the problem. "./manage.py migrate" doesn't actually create the account - I was confusing it with "./manage.py syncdb", which is obsolete as of Django 1.7. Now it is indeed necessary to run "./manage.py createsuperuser" - I'll update the documentation.

Cheers,

Super. Cheers!
