i think you can make the new mysql recognise old passwords

im sure i did this myself and got the info from

vbulletin.com

only a suggestion

vBulletin does not use the MySQL password() function, so a version change would not be an issue unless your new version has different character sets than the old version.

I believe that the passwords are stored as "md5(md5(password)+salt)". If that's the case, yes, it would be pretty easy to change a bunch of passwords all at once.
