If you selected all the options when using Migration Assistant including migrating your settings from your old computer then the passwords should have come across. Also, you were not very specific about how you used Migration Assistant so we are left guessing. My recommendation is that you may want to contact AppleCare so someone can assist 1:1 on the phone. In the USA, the phone number is 800-275-2273, outside the USA please click the following link to find the number for your area, AppleCare Contact Info
