I have an existing Drupal 4.7 site and I am currently developing a new Drupal 5.0 RC site. I am wondering if I can transfer the existing users from the 4.7 site to the new 5.0 site. I have a lot of users and it would be a pain to have to ask them all to re-register and get new passwords. Can I just "export" the users table in PHPmyAdmin from the 4.7 site and "import" the data into the users table of the 5.0 site? Will this disrupt the users passwords?

Thanks!

My problem is identical to yours. I installed a copy of 5.0 in a subfolder in order to test this option out, but unfortunately there seems to be different values in the "users" table....any suggestions anyone?

Hello
I also have this question and problem...
I have an existing website - not drupal website - and I'm developing it into drupal and of course I need to transfer my 'over 80000 users' into drupal database with out losing any information. I have lots of info and sensible and confidential data from my users and I don't want to lose any information.
I tried several modules, everything and every time I import this database I get several errors reported.
How can I import my users and all info without losing any data?
Help??

Thank you guys.
