Try:
– switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.
– re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress.
– running the upgrade manually via wp-admin/upgrade.php
Thank you for the response!
Tried switching themes using the ftp site and got a blank page with this:Oops! This link appears to be broken.
Same thing with resetting the plugins.
How do I attempt the other 2 options without accessing the admin?
That does allow me to type in my login info but then it directs me to the following:
Not Found
Apologies, but the page you requested could not be found. Perhaps searching will help.

Can I attempt these two items in the FTP site?

The first can only be carried out via FTP. The second involves you navigating to http://your_domain/wp-admin/upgrade.php in your web browser.
Do you have any link to directions on manually re-uploading all files and folders via the FTP site?
Thanks again!
Okay, I found the directions on how to upload.
But here is what has me panicked….I did a backup this morning but I don’t have the software to open the sql file. Do I need to be able to open that before moving forward? I’m a nervous wreck that I’m going to lose all my content, photos and posts.
Problem resolved. I logged into godaddy – resaved everything, uninstalled wordpress and re-installed it. Add back the old content files and database.
It was a problem with the database needing to be updated.
Thanks for helping.
This happened to me as well, I had to restore the backup to gain access to the admin. Ne’er the less I will be passing on that new update until they sort the bugs
