Author page points to 404 error page

The user_nicename should never have spaces. It is a sanitized version of user_name, that has been sanitized (Aa-Zz,0-9,_,-) to be suitable for use as a slug.

If you have spaces in your user_nicename values, you’re going to get 404 errors. To correct, you’ll probably need to edit the database directly. Here are instructions, with screenshots, for doing so via PHPMyAdmin.
