In my case, I renamed up my Plone 2.5 folder "plone 2" to "plone
2_backup", and then did a fresh install of Plone 3.0 into the same
machine. Plone
3.0 also installs into the folder name "plone 2." Plone 3.0 runs fine
by itself, but I
need to migrate all of the user information and contents from my
previous version of plone.

So, I took my Data.fs ONLY from my old, renamed plone folder and
overwrote the Data.fs file in my new plone 3 installation inside the
"plone 2" folder with it. After doing so, I started plone, but I was
not able to
log into the Zope Management Interface with either my old or newly set
login/password information. I also
could not logon with the "emergency" user I tried making.

I was hoping I could logon, not see a "broken" plone item, and then
go through the migration process.

Any ideas on what I could do?

Thanks
