I can't tell you exactly what to do without seeing what your account_data table looks like, but I think you'd just want something like:
Code:
INSERT INTO account_data (username, password, email)
SELECT username, password, email FROM user
(of course you'd have to change the field names and add a table prefix to "user", if necessary).
If you already have an existing table with usernames you might have to do something different.
ETA: also, I guess this doesn't work if the new table is in a different database. I don't know how to handle that off the top of my head.
