Why Django admin shows different kind of UI interface?

Question:

I am new to django, when i created a project and goes to ‘url/admin’. It shows the default django admin UI. But now, when i navigate to ‘url/admin’. It shows different UI of admin login than default one.

I attached the screenshot of it, how it is looking. How to make this screen to look as default one of django admin screen?

Kindly see the url too in screenshot. Why after ‘url/admin’ more string shown.

django admin

django admin dashboard

My settings.py:

"""

If Debug is True and still not visible proper UI then you should refresh page using ignoring cached content.
Command : CTRL+Shift+R
