IIRC Plone 2.x used SSHA (salted SHA-1) both before and after integration
of PAS in 2.5**.  But that is likely not an issue since
PluggableAuthService in current Plone 4.3 has a fallback to supporting
previous native (unsalted SHA-1, that is passwords stored with no scheme
prefix).  Both AccessControl and PAS are pretty generous for backward
compatibility with migrated hash values.

The OP did not mention which Plone 2.x version was in use.

** my memory could be faulty here, but I think this has been the case for
about a decade, since at least Zope 2.6.
