Force DB upgrade while locked out: Permissions error

    Logged in as a Super Admin, my network admin area has been giving me a “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” error or just flat out hides the menu item from view.
    I’m sure something when wrong on the DB upgrade from the last update (3.7.1). Normally I would just go to updates>reinstall wp; however, due to the permissions issue it only gives me the upgrade network page.

    What I’m missing/locked out of:
    Plugins – Add new and edit
    Updates – Available updates

    The roads I’ve been down.
    1) Deactivated all Plugins – no result
    2) I logged in under the original admin account – no result
    3) Added Super Admin permissions to another user account – no result
    4) Database – everything looks correct
    wp_sitemeta>site_admins: a:2:{i:0;s:5:”admin”;i:1;s:11:”my_user”;}
    wp_sitemeta>admin_user_id: 1
    wp_capabilities: a:1:{s:13:”administrator”;b:1;}
    wp_user_level: 10

    for dumb… I forgot I added a bit of code to wp-config.php a while ago to disable style and plugin editing (for users only I thought)… well that changed my can_edit_plugins conditional to false causing the errors.
