So apparently the issue is that although you reset your login password to a known value, it doesn't stick and reverts overnight to some other value.
Yes that it looks like.
Is this the Debian package or installed following https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/install/virtualenv.html or something else.
Yes it is a virtualenv installation following that guide.
All I can think of is some cron may be resetting the password. If that's it, it's probably a Debian thing. Can you see if there's any cron running the Django admin changepassword command?
Will try to find that.
If you set the password with the Django admin changepassword command, does it stick?
Never tried that, how do I do that?
Can you create another superuser with the Django admin createsuperuser command and does that user's password stick?
Will try that. So I can create another superuser? Does it need a separate email address? I guess yes
Thank you for your ideas.
