<DIV>If the password are still just MD5 hashed (I'm still using 2.2.9 on windows..so I have little info on current versions)...., last time I did this, I had to do a bulk MD5 hash on my patron passwords , then bulk import patron data from a CSV (with the hashed passwords) via MySQL rather than use the built in tools.</DIV>
