Kde corrupt login theme(SOLVED)

I installed a login theme and i think the file is corrupted,now when my system tries to boot to the login screen i get an error message saying login cant be found,
is there any way i can set my default theme from the command line or am i going to have to uninstall kde or is there a way to bypass the login altogether

Solution:

Go to:  /usr/share/config/kdm/     in this directory there's a file    kdmrc  open it with   nano kdmrc

search this file until u find    Theme=/usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/arch    and change arch (it might be called something different for you) to any other theme for example Theme=/usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/oxygen and u will be back in business.

your themes should be in    /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes  just incase you don't know the names of your themes
