 * Hi,
 * How were you editing functions.php before the crash? Was it thru the WP admin
   UI?
 * In any case I think it will be difficult unless you do get FTP access or access
   your hosting account and use a file manager or something like that to edit or
   temporarily rename functions.php

 * Also there are some nice Google analytics plugins you can use so you dont have
   to worry about editing your functions.php

 * Ok, so it sound like you were editing it inside WP.
 * To get FTP access or CPanel access you need to talk to your hosting provider.

 * Thanks for your help, I contacted my host site and they fixed the site for me,
   but could you point me in the direction of a google analytics plugin I could 
   use? I dont want to mess around with code anymore after what happened
