It will not help you, as the encrypted passwords will move with you
and you will have the same problems in the new installation.

Search the mailing lists for "tranalyser" (I never know the precise
spelling, can also be "tranalyzer"). You will find a recent post
that explains how to use it in order to find a cutting point
where to you can trancate the ZODB to get rid of the desastrous
actions.

I think, I remember to have seen a HowTo, too, on Zope.org (-> corrupted
ZODB).
