 * Hi there,
 * It’s okay 🙂 You’ll just need to access your website file directories. You can
   use either FTP of your hosts cPanel to access the files.
 * Navigate to the `wp-content/themes/` directory. Once there, find the folder named“
   flat”, and rename (or delete) it.
 * This will force WordPress to quit trying to use that theme; and will instead 
   load the default WordPress theme.
 * Since you will now be able to login to your amdin panel; you can go back and 
   select a different theme.
