  The user password of teamworks 6.2 is encrypted by a DES
  algorithm, but the user password of  WebSphere Lombardi
  Edition 7.1 or later and IBM BPM 7.5.0 or later is encrypted
  by a WAS algorithm. IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 does not support the
  migration of mixture password hash
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM V8.5.0.1 that  ensures both
  teamworks 6.2 users and IBM BPM users are able to  log into
  IBM BPM after migration.
