    have you tried:

    -switching to the default theme (Twenty Ten) to rule out any theme-specific issue?

    If you don't have access to your admin area, then access your server via FTP, SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    Delete or rename the current theme's folder in wp-content/themes.

    You may need to log in and out again a few times to force the 2010 theme to activate.
