When clicking on "Create new account" or "Request new password" users get "Access denied. You may need to login below or register to access this page". However, user cannot register as same error appears. Access content is enabled for anonymous user.
I've searched the archive and only found one similar topic. However, the problem was with mass_url module which I have not installed. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

access denied after uninstalling modules
I uninstalled all the modules I had installed and I still got access denied when creating new account or requesting a new password.
The modules I uninstalled were:
advuser
authorship
basicevent
htmlwrap
location
masquerade
paging
quote
forward
gmap
gmap_location
img_ass
logintoboggan
Does anyone know what the problem may be? I've setup another drupal site on the same server and haven't had this problem. The site in question is a charity organization and I cannot get new volunteers to register!! Would someone please please help?
Problem was with a patch submitted here
I implemented the patch provided by jaza (user_access_2.patch) to solve problem with users not being able to view profiles of those users who had never logged in. The patch worked like a charm but then the site gave out access denied error whenever a visitor wanted to register or whenever a user requested a new password. Not knowing what exactly was causing this error, I unistalled all installed modules but that didn't help. So I looked at the differences between the two user.module files I have for two different drupal sites I've installed. I saw that the only difference between these two files was this patch. So I removed the codes and uploaded the file and voila. My problem with registering and requesting new password erroring in access denied was resolved.
