In that case you can do something like:

2. Empty the tables that you copied over in the previous step, and make sure to check the seed (primary key) and set it to the last known ID you have.
3. Do the migration from phpbb.
4. Move back the users from step 1, ignoring any duplicates.

The hard part about that would me making sure that you don't end up with an incoherent DB that might come back to bite you several months after...

so you have to check that you correctly identified all users informations in the DB and you took only these ones...
