+Creating superusers
+-------------------
+
+``manage.py syncdb`` prompts you to create a superuser the first time you run
+it after adding ``'django.contrib.auth'`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS``. But if
+you need to create a superuser after that via the command line, you can use the
+``create_superuser.py`` utility. Just run this command::
+
+    python /path/to/django/contrib/auth/create_superuser.py
+
+Make sure to substitute ``/path/to/`` with the path to the Django codebase on
+your filesystem.
