But for what it's worth I seem to have exactly the same problem as a few
other people here. Traceback is below. It's what I get when I click the
"change password form" link in the Django Administration when editing a
User. Besides adding
> [[BR]]
> admin.site.register(User)
> [[BR]]
> admin.site.register(Group)
> [[BR]]
>
Why are you registering User and Group to admin in your own app? If you
use admin.autodiscover() in your urls.py then User and Group will be
registered with the custom admin models defined for them by default. If
you are overriding them in some way you need to inherit from the cusom
models defined in /django/contrib/auth/admin.py, not !ModelAdmin, because
the password stuff, for instance, is added in the custom model. So the
problem is resulting because you are including 'admin.site.register(User)'
in your own code. That registration will not support changing passwords
as the default one set up in django/contrib/auth/admin.py does.
If you have follow-up questions, the django-users list is a better place
for questions like this.
