error when editing user profile

I am currently running Moodle 2.8.3+ (Build: 20150205) on a PC through Hostmonster cPanel, One-click installs in the Mojo Marketplace.

When I try to add a new user manually or edit a user's profile (to change their password for example), I get the following errors.  I'm not sure if more information is needed to help me solve this problem, but I would love to figure it out so I can reset a student's password.  Thanks in advance.


Exception - Call to a member function getAttribute() on null
