 * You may be able to get specific instructions on what you need to do to correct
   the error, if you can post the actual error message. What may have been taking
   place just prior to the error (updating a theme or a plugin, editing a file, 
   etc…) may also be helpful information.
 * In all probability, you will still need FTP access or access to the file manager
   in the hosts control panel before you can repair the issue.

   themes/lifestyle-pro/functions.php on line 135
 * Is the error.. I added a code at the bottom of the theme funtion in css to try
   to get back log in and when I hit update this happened.
 * Someone else loaded the blog for me and I dont have contact with them anymore.

   to get in there and remove the code and live with the log in button being gone:(

 * The repair is obviously going to be either fixing (removing) the edit, or replacing
   the file with a copy from your last backup. Either way, you’re probably going
   to need access via ftp or control panel.
 * This is a long-shot, but you might try your login page directly at:
    `yoursite.
   com/wp-login.php`
 * If you are able to at least enter your username and password, but you still get
   an error or a blank page afterwords, then try typing: `yoursite.com/wp-admin/
   themes.php` or `yoursite.com/wp-admin/options.php` directly in the browser address
   bar and see if you can regain any back-end navigation.
 * Like I say, it’s a long-shot, but sometimes you get lucky.
