4,645 PointsAfter some googling it looks like:
manage.py changepassword *username*
is your best bet. First you'll want to see if you can find all superusers and recognize your username:
python manage.py shell
and then this script:
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
User.objects.filter(is_superuser=True)
You could also try creating a new superuser to regain access:
python manage.py createsuperuser
Note: I got all this from googling your question directly and reading this Stack Overflow page: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6358030/how-to-reset-django-admin-password
