Hallo everybody,
So the only logins/accounts that were affected in one migration to new server was manual accounts?
You've not mentioned how the migration was done, but sounds like there's a password salt line from config.php file of the old site, now missing on the config.php file of the new site. Password salt doesn't affect other authentications just accounts that would be stored (completely ... including password) in the tables of the Moodle DB. That's a guess.
If you have a tool for browsing MySQL, check out the mdl_user table for rows whose authentication method is set to manual. You should see the password field/column is populated, but what you might be looking at is an MD5 hashed password (not the actual password).

Hello Ken,
Yes, you are right! The scientist just told me that that was the problem - thank you very much for your help !
Here is a link 'salt' setting in the config.php for those who find this post.
