If you have the Opera web browser, under the "View" menu item, change "style" from author mode to user mode. Then you'll get a no-stylesheet page that can be used to reset the theme. Opera, btw, is a particular robust browser that, for example, will generally display the previous page as a cached copy even if the current page is broken, so is highly recommended for site configuration/editing tasks.

Otherwise, a url like (yoursite)/tiki-switch_theme.php?theme=thenews.css might work, but possibly only if you are already logged in. I'm not sure.

Another method is to use phpMyAdmin at your server to edit the, um, tiki_preferences table of your TikiWiki's database directly. Find the row where akwa.css is and edit it to replace with another theme (one that's in the 2.2 bundle to be safe).

Or you can use ftp or cpanel file manager to delete styles/akwa.css. Doing this should make the site revert to the default style.
