What theme are you running, and do you know whether you have a Child Theme?
http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Editing_Files
you might need to use FTP to access the file;
or consider to use a custom CSS plugin to add styles to make the changes; http://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/search.php?q=custom+css

I think it is a custom theme, with a Child theme (or at least there is a child css). I am not the one who originally set up the website, so I am trying to figure out how it was set up originally so that I can alter it as needed.
What do you hae showing at Dashboard > Appearance > Themes?
The active theme should be at the top, and it should have a line next to it saying something like “This child theme requires its parent theme, (theme name)” if it is a typical Child Theme.

Ok, in Dashboard>Appearance>Themes, here is what is says:
Current Theme
Cardinal Online
By Maximo Media Version V0.5 This is a Theme Based off of Chris Coyier’s Blank Theme
Customize Options: Widgets Menus
I still have not figured out how to access the main.css file. The only css file that is listed for editing in Dashboard>Appearance>Editor is style.css
You should not modify theme files – you can override any CSS in that file by using Custom CSS as suggested above.
Beyond that, ff the main.css file is located in a sub-folder, you will need to use FTP to access the file.
Since you are using a theme that is not from the repository on this site, please contact the developer of the theme for additional help with this kind of theme question.
