Locked out of site manager tools "File not found. All themes need default.php and view.php files in them. Consult concrete5 documentation on how to create these files."

I am extremely naive when it comes to coding and coding issues.
(In front of Photoshop and I'm totally comfortable, lost here though)
Our site,http://www.mycvag.org is functional and running, but I cannot access the concrete management tools. There is a small logo that is the link into the managment of the site. But in clicking this, I am sent to this message "File not found. All themes need default.php and view.php files in them. Consult concrete5 documentation on how to create these files."
I did not build this nor do I have any vantage point of where to start. I can functionally make my way around the web based editor but I do not know how at this point to access the editor in order to fix this problem.

Thank you for you response.
I am still getting the php error issue. Going straight to the dashboard still comes back with the
"File not found. All themes need default.php and view.php files in them. Consult concrete5 documentation on how to create these files."
Is there a backdoor that would allow me to access the dashboard or login capabilities.

Thanks for the PM. I'm going to continue this thread as it may be of value to others.
The problem appears to be with the current theme of the site. You've not been able to access through the backend to identify the specific theme being used.
Others may have additional approaches.
What I'd do in this case is go into cPanel -- so that you see the precise file configuration of the site.
In your C5 install, at the top level, drill down into /themes.
Drill down into the first theme (there may be only one).
Take one of the existing pages and copy it to default.php and the other required file. Don't delete the original file.
If there are other themes, do the same.
See if that gets you in from the front end.
When you are able to access the admin area, you need to make a backup of the database, and from cPanel, a compressed file of the complete C5 install.
You may have some cleanup to do. Some pages may need to have their page type changed. Hopefully nothing else.
All the best!

At that point, you have several options.
I'd immediately make a copy of the database and download it. Also, be sure to have a current copy of your Concrete5 installation.
Once you have a complete backup of the site -- following the directions above -- there are some tasks you can complete.
First, identify the theme that the site is using. Check the details of the theme to see if, in fact, the missing files are not registered. If they are not registered, check through cPanel to see if they are, in fact, in the theme. If so, you can reinstall them. If not, you probably can copy the left sidebar, or another common pagetype, to the names of the missing files -- through cPanel.
If that isn't providing progress, you can try setting a different theme for the site. That should provide the necessary files for you to be able to access the dashboard from the front end.
