Cannot sign a message with web3js (invalid from address)

Question

So I am trying to create a signature of a string, but I cannot do that, as I always get error stating MetaMask - RPC Error: Error: WalletMiddleware - Invalid "from" address. (code: -32603). I am creating a message with window.web3.eth.sign(hash, userAddress) function, where user address is response of window.ethereum.enable() function.

web3js

web3.eth.defaultAccount = userAddress;
