Migrated all the users from MacBook (Big Sur) to new MacBookPro (Ventura), but the old passwords do not work!

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!

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.7

The most trouble free way to move to a new machine, is using the Setup Assistant on the initial boot of a brand new machine— you have one shot here. Set up your MacBook Pro - Apple Support
