 * Access your server via [FTP or SFTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients),
   navigate to `/wp-content/themes/` and rename the directory of your currently 
   active theme. This will force the Default theme (WordPress 1.5 – 2.9.2) or the
   Twenty Ten theme (WordPress 3.0 and higher) to activate.
