Then I decided to look carefully at the prefix_usermeta database table, where I discovered that there were two records for prefix_capabilities. One had 'administrator,' the other 'editor.' I deleted the one with 'editor.' That finally fixed the problem. I'm not sure why there should have been two prefix_capabilities records. I wonder, however, if either the update process itself or force-upgrade.php may have inserted the additional record when it found no appropriate one because of the old prefix on the capabilities record... I suspect that all of the above was necessary for me. Perhaps it could possibly happen to someone else, also. Therefore this post.

But I used navicat for mac. Just get into the tables and changed the prefix in the 4 fields. No need to write sql statements. Thanks for the tips, so I could fix it in 5 minutes.
