Django - accidently removed superuser

I am using Django 1.4.5 and accidentally deleted the superuser. How can I recreate the superuser account for an existing project? I found tutorials that show to do it when initially setting up a project but can't figure out how to create a superuser for an existing project.

I did try django-admin.py createsuperuser in the terminal without any luck

I apprecite the time and feedback.

Solution

  • You can invoke this command through manage.py 

    ./manage.py createsuperuser
