User is just a model like any other, so you can always create it via
the standard syntax:
u=User.objects.create(username='daniel', email='[EMAIL PROTECTED],
first_name='daniel', last_name='roseman'')
but you need to set the password separately, as it needs to be a
hashed value:
u.set_password('mypassword')
