Migrating from Laravel 4.2 to 5.5 (Authentication / Password Mismatch Error)

I am migrating a project from 4.2 to 5.5. I have reached 5.3, I have taken backups for every successful version update 5.0, 5.1, 5.2. The problem is, after my 5.2 update, my authentication as working well and I was able to login to the system. However, after the 5.3 update, I am not able to login. I have followed all steps from official documentation for upgrading.

Thanks in advance for any help.
