Editing user profiles via "inlines" breaks password management in admin site
Hello, I implemented a user profile that is activated via AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE in settings.py. In order to be able to view and edit user profiles in the admin site, I used the method described at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3400641/how-do-i-inline-edit-a-django-user-profile-in-the-admin-interface. Basically, this method uses a custom ModelAdmin to enable inline editing. While editing users and their profiles via http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/auth/user// works as expected, I cannot add users as before enabling inline editing. Before, the interface at http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/auth/user/add/ had showed a rather simple form with fields username, password, and password confirmation. Now, this page shows the same (more complex) form as when editing users. Thus, I have to provide a password in the form of "[algo]$[salt]$[hexdigest]". Furthermore, the function "change password" at http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/auth/user//password/ does not work anymore: "user object with primary key u'/password' does not exist." How can I enable viewing / editing of user profiles while preserving the original password functionality?

Oh, thanks! Actually, it's much simpler this way.
