 * Is your wordpress up to date? If it is, then your theme is outdated and is causing
   the problem. or it’s one of your plugins that is outdated. But anyhow, this is
   how you can solve it:
    You enter you your control panel in your hosting service
   provider. It’s where you have registered you domain and you should have the link
   to your cpanel along with your username and pass in the confirmation email they
   sent you when you registered your domain. When you’re in your Cpanel, search 
   for “file manager” and open it. If it prompt you to choose what you want to have
   access to, you should choose to open the “rootfiles”. In the rootfiles, you should
   be able to remove the theme you have installed or the plugins simply by deleting
   their folders. You should then gain access to your website and your control panel
   right after updating and saving the rootfiles.

 * do you have access to your files via FTP or webhost cpanel to be able to delete
   the theme?

 * No, my friend has hosted this website using HostGator, I don’t have a clue about
   the cpanel.

 * Then contact your friend, he should have got an email with a link to your CPanel.
   I am also using HostGator, they send you the mail right after your domain is 
   registered. After entering CPanel you just go to file manager, root files, and
   delete your theme. If you cannot contact your friend or you have not kept the
   mail, then you should contact HostGator technical support.
