This barely qualifies for a blog post, but what to do if you loaded, via django-admin.py loaddata
a full json file from someone during testing, and don’t have their user’s password?
Just run the django-admin.py shell, and by hand reset all the passwords:
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
for u in Users:
u.set_password(’secret’)
u.save()
That’s why you have to keep your shell login and settings files safe !!

If you’re using Django Command Extensions (http://code.google.com/p/django-command-extensions/) you can just use the passwd management command.
