[BlueOnyx:09611] Re: migration problems BQ to BO

[Gustavo Silva]

Hello!

I'm having the same problem here.

Latest CMU version on both ends. Exporting from BQ to BO.

Some users had their passwords reset to the initial password set when 
the site was created. (Users probably changed it after and they had the 
strong password check active so im guessing its not because the password 
is weak)

Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Gustavo
