migration to a new MacBook and password is not recognised

I have migrated from a 2014 MacBook Air to a new MacBook Air (2019) and my password does not work on the new one. I don't want to reset my password as it means all my keychain passwords will be lost. What is the issue?

user password lost during migration from mac to mac Just migrated from an old mac to mac air. Migration is complete. I can not access my user account . The password does not work on the new mac. No matter how many tries it does not offer any recovery options. The password works fine on the old mac though. What can i do?

I migrated all the users from my MacBook (Big Sur) to new MacBookPro (Ventura), but the old passwords do not work! What can I do to change the passwords without losing the existing keychains. They have a lot of passwords I need stored in them!
