Use FTP and navigate to wp-includes->post-template.php. If you don't know how to use FTP, follow this guide to use FTP in Windows and Ubuntu

Open post-template.php with a Notepad and find the following line of code

$output .= apply_filters( 'the_content_more_link', ' <a href="' . get_permalink() . "#more-$id\" class=\"more-link\">$more_link_text</a>", $more_link_text );

//$output .= apply_filters( 'the_content_more_link', ' <a href="' . get_permalink() . "#more-$id\" class=\"more-link\">$more_link_text</a>", $more_link_text );
