Migrate Laravel 4.2 password hashes to Laravel 6.x

Question

I'm about to migrate a site made in Laravel 4.2 to 6.x but I have an issue while migrating users and their hashed passwords. Password recovery is not an option unfortunately so I'm thinking about checking old password hashes at the first login and updating it with a new hashed password - but it seems like Hash::check($request->input('password'), $oldpassword) is always returning false.

Here is a piece of code what I'm trying to implement.

if($userModel = User::findByEmail($request->input('username'))) {
      (!is_null($userModel->old_password) && Hash::check($request->input('password'), $userModel->old_password)) {
            $userModel->password = Hash::make($request->input('password'));
            $userModel->old_password = null;
            $userModel->save();
      }
}

Also Stackoverflow, Google, Github didn't helped me a lot. Any ideas?

Thanks!
