Normal users are exported when you export files from the cms shell.
Then, when you import the files into your new system, the users are created as well.

Have you tried this? I don't know, If webusers are exported along with this, though.

If you take over the data from old tables, then you have to enable legacy authentication.
I think the way of storing passwords has changed in the meantime, but the old way can still be activated.
I don't know, if the tables structures are the same as with opencms 5

not much from my side, but maybe it helps in some way...

Christian
