When you migrated data, using migration assistant I assume, you were presented a screen for you to enter each user's password. You do each twice to be sure there are no typing errors between the two. Those entered passwords become the passwords post migration.


Either you skipped that screen, if that's even possible, or you typed the new passwords incorrectly.


In essence, you've forgotten your password: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202860
