 * VERSION 3.4.8
 * This error appears to be caused by either
    a) resetting the users password to
   a password that is not considered as strong. The user password can be changed
   in the admin panel to a weak password after account creation, but it cannot be
   made weak during user registration.
 * or
 * b) Erroneous data being written into the user meta database table
 * or
 * c) using the password reset feature
 * QUICK FIXES TO TRY:
    1) If there is a user who still has access, go to the administration
   panel and reset the password to a strong password (8 characters, a capitial, 
   a number, and a symbol)
 * 2) Go to the database and in the users meta table, set the value of `[dbprefix]
   _capabilities` for the user to: `a:1:{s:13:"administrator";s:1:"1";}`
 * 3)restore a database backup from a time prior to the problem occurring, if that
   is an option
 * OTHER INFORMATION FOR THE DEVELOPER:
    1) The password reset feature does not 
   work properly, at least it doesn’t if you are using the login rewrite feature
 * 2) You probably should not be able on the user panel to reset a user password
   to a weak password as this will also cause the behavior
 * Good Luck
