Upgrade 1.6.1.24 to 1.7.6.2 Customers cannot log in or make new registrations

[TillyOak]

After a lengthy battle to upgrade our store I currently have a test environment where I have managed to work through a lot of the problems yet face one last challenge.   Basically, customers cannot log in, just reverts back to the log in screen, although when browsing and adding anything to a cart, then going to checkout and THEN logging in it works but leaving the checkout then appears to log the customer out again.   Similarly, trying to register a new account shows debug info:

The length of property Customer->passwd is currently 60 chars. It must be between 0 and 32 chars.

1001.             if ($message !== true) {
1002.                 if ($die) {
1003.                     throw new PrestaShopException($message);
1004.                 }
1005. 
1006.                 return $error_return ? $message : false;
1007.             }
1008.         }

I've done the obvious and tried amending this in the dbase but makes no difference.

Anyone had the same or even better, know what the fix would be?

Cheers

Would you per chance know how to fix it?
