As was mentioned in the comments, if you just set password in a user serializer, your password will be saved in plaintext where Django expects a hash. So you need to do something like this

class UserSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ('id','username','email','password','is_active')

    def create(self, validated_data):
        user = super().create(validated_data)
        if 'password' in validated_data:
            user.set_password(validated_data['password'])
            user.save()
        return user
