I can't login to AdminCP. I can login into the forum and also have access to Moderator CP. But clicking on AdminCP and entering my user/password I get the message that the site is not secure and resets the page to login again.

This is a browser requirement.  You need to work with your host to setup SSL for your site.  Once done, follow the following guide:

Basically once SSL is setup, you change your board path in constants.php to be HTTPS instead of HTTP.

    We had ssl but the conf_global.php was not going to https. I have an older version of the board don't know how to clear the caches. But I got into the cpanel.  Need to make sure the version I have can be switched to php 8.1

    You can clear cache by using the Support option in ACP > System > Support.

    OK, I finally found where the cache setting live in system  advance database.  Now to the next problem of upgrading the forums that are at 4.4.6 to  4.7.6 . Hope 4.4.6 does php 8. Thanks for all the expert advice and help. 😃

    Well that is going to make installing difficult 

    Do the following:

    1. Disable all 3rd-party resources (plugins/applications)
    2. Put a default Invision theme in place
    3. Ensure your site is working
    4. BACKUP your software and database.
    5. Download 4.7.6 manually
    6. Put PHP 8.0.x in place
    7. Upload/upgrade to 4.7.6
    8. Test your site.
    9. Login to the ACP and go through the Marketplace onboarding and link your MP-purchased resources (if any)
    10. Update those resources (do not enable any)
    11. Test your site
    12. If all good, enable any 3rd party resources one at a time and test each time.

    That sound like lots of work and time. Thanks for the guidance.
