Specifics of what "doesn't work" looks like (exception? passwords never match? machine catches fire?) would be the minimum you would want to provide to help people help you. In this case, though, my first question is why are you doing all of this yourself instead of using Django's built in user authentication framework? If the specifics of what is stored in the Django User model does not match what you are looking for there are ways to extend User (via profiles). If you absolutely positively need to be re-implementing all of this stuff yourself I'd suggest you look at the Django authentication code (django/contrib/auth) for some guidance on how to do it.
