I think he is referring to the message I also got when Registering a New Member. As per the quote below, it instructs the new member to Activate his/her membership by clicking an activation link, and then proceeds to tell him/her to log into the website
using the back-end Administrator Login, instead of the Front-End. Here is the email I got after Signing-up to one of my memberships for your reference:

I went to the Joomla
Global Configuration and turned off
Allow User Registration and
New User Account Activation, but now I am not getting the following Email which is still telling my clients to log into the back-end:
