I was writing code, everything worked fine, all services were running via docker-compose, then the database crashed, I had to clean up the database files and recreate them using the same docker-compose. This time, I tried to create an admin user using python manage.py createsuperuser, I created it, but I can't authenticate with it in django/admin.

Most likely your superuser status is_active=False, so you cannot log into the admin panel.
Therefore, first of all, check the is_active flag. You didn't have to add this field to your model, because this logic matches Django's logic.
