[Answer]-Django subclass (model) not implementing attributes of superclass

Your OnetoOneField is not implementation of User model.

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/models/fields/#ref-onetoone

You can access OneToOneField as object.user attribute in your case.

Since you are using inbuilt UserCreationForm which implements set_password, you can create a method in your model called set_password and call self.user.set_password

But I recommend you look into custom user implementation:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/auth/customizing/#auth-custom-user

EDIT:
This is just a concept according to what I got from your question:

class UserProfile(models.Model):
  user = models.OneToOneField(User)
  .....your other attributes

also for RegistrationForm you could do something like:

class MyRegistrationForm(UserCreationForm):
  ....your registration form attributes from UserProfile Model
  class Meta:
    fields = ('username', 'email', 'firstname', 'lastname')  # fields of User Model not your UserProfile Model

  def save(self, commit=True):
     user = super(MyRegistrationForm, self).save(commit=commit)
     userprofile = UserProfile(user=user)
     userprofile.attribute = form.cleaned_data[attribute_name]...
     return user|userprofile #as required

Also csrf is already available in template as {% csrf_token %}
