Creating a super user that is not able to access admin site

I am creating an admin user using the following code. However this user is unable to login. Any suggestions on why this user cant log in to the admin site

  user = User.objects.create(username = "joe",first_name="jordan", last_name="...", email="[email protected]", password="admin123",is_staff=True,is_superuser=True)

The username is joe and password is admin123 however this user cant login

Django stores hashed passwords. Since you passed to DB plain password, Django could not authenticate user. You should use set_password when creating new user to hash password:

user = User(username = "joe",first_name="jordan", last_name="...", email="[email protected]",is_staff=True,is_superuser=True)
user.set_password("admin123")
user.save()

Or you can use create_superuser method:

user = User.objects.create_superuser(username = "joe",first_name="jordan", last_name="...", email="[email protected]", password="admin123")
