There was no file in the 1.42 upgrade which reset the value of PSWD_ENCRYPT in the MNU_CONTROL table. You may have reloaded the whole of 'radicore\menu\sql\mysql\menu-data.sql', but this would be a mistake as this is only supposed to be used for new installations, not upgrades.

You could have solved this problem with a single SQL update by changing the value of PSWD_ENCRYPT instead of going through each user one at a time.

It is generally considered bad practice to store plain text passwords in your database, so what is your reason for doing so? This is far more of a security weakness than exposing encrypted passwords when logging sql queries.
