Hi,

I'm facing the same issue too. I used my password to upgrade and believe that the login information being used is correct.

For some reason the change password panel can find out my password (I was logged in before the upgrade) because I changed my password and it yelled no errors. However whenever I log in it claims that "The email and password combination you entered is invalid."

I do strongly believe that my password hasn't changed. The password reset things haven't been helpful either, and I upgraded from MyBB 1.6.11.

admin password can be changed through database manager. see required guidance here => Link

it claims that "The email and password combination you entered is invalid."

It's unfortunately a bug (or rather an unfinished feature which was not tested enough) in MyBB 1.8 - https://github.com/mybb/mybb/issues/1376

1. You can't log in with E-mail when the option is Email only too.
2. If the option is Email only, you can log in with username...

So you have to use username instead of E-mail.

^ open ./inc/settings.php file in a code editor like notepad++ and find $settings['username_method'] = "1";
change it to $settings['username_method'] = "0"; and check if you can log into admin panel.
if it works then immediately change Allowed Login Methods to User Name only in admin panel.
Admin Panel >> Configuration >> Settings >> Login and Registration Options >> Allowed Login Methods
