You can’t use the plugin to register your users from WordPress to phpBB. Your users must register in phpBB and then a new user for each one of your users will be created on WordPress.
The reason that you can’t transfer your users is basicly practical, because the process is like that :
WordPress in wp-config.php file have some encryption keys. That keys are the following:
define(‘AUTH_KEY’,’……’);
define(‘SECURE_AUTH_KEY’,’……’);
define(‘LOGGED_IN_KEY’,’……’);
define(‘NONCE_KEY’,’……’);
define(‘AUTH_SALT’,’……’);
define(‘SECURE_AUTH_SALT’, ‘……’);
define(‘LOGGED_IN_SALT’,’……’);
define(‘NONCE_SALT’,’……’);
When a new user is registered on WordPres his password is encryted with a hash encryption in compination with that keys.
So if you will try to move your users on phpBB, because phpBB has it’s own method to encrypt the passwords all of your users will need to reset their own passwords.

Wouldn’t be a problem .. the user have to reset their passwords anyway.
In that case you have to transfer “manualy” your users from one database to other.
The “manualy” could be mean to use SQL to transfer users from one table to another, in case that both softwares “WordPress” & “phpBB” are istalled in the same schema/server or by doing extract the fields that are usefull from WordPress to phpBB in an *.sql file and then importing them into phpBB table.
From the plugin this task is not posible to be completed at all, at least in this version.
