 * I am a newbie with wordpress. After i installed wordpress i downloaded the Genesis
   template. So now i cannot login at the admin board. Must i re-install or is there
   a escape possible? I hope so!

 * A further explanation: there is no META in the theme after installing so i cannot
   go into the admin board 🙁

 * FTP to your server and delete the theme – WordPress will default to the default
   theme.

 * Better yet, just slap /wp-admin/ to the end of your blog URL.
 * You don’t need a link in your theme to get into your admin.

 * Ok – I assumed martsmit was suggesting that they could not log in b/c something
   in the theme broke their ability to log in — I wasn’t paying attention to the
   second post – no META in theme – :o)
 * Next time – I’ll slow down and READ the question…

 * Well, i deleted the theme and saw that was working. But adambrown brought a simple
   solution!!! Thank you both for helping. For me its solved.
