password encryption in django when importing users to USER model

I am trying to build an Api with an old database, which i am trying to move in USER model at Django.

I configured table with Users for django USER model, however there is one problem. The passwords in old database are not encrypted, what means I can not log in with django.

Any ideas how to solve this? Is there a way to encrypt the column of passwords or I can pass this in django? Any help would be very welcomed. Thank you.

I am using sqlite3

If you already have a database with the user data imported, you should loop through the records and hash the passwords:

for user in User.objects.all():
    user.set_password(user.password)
    user.save()

Ignoring the security hazzard, I guess your only option is to call set_password for users and update the password accordingly
