DID IT BEFORE JUST DONT REMEMBER HOW TO SO IT IS POSSIBLE. I have the mysql pass and username...
You can use PhpMyAdmin, if it is installed on your site, then access it with the user name and password for the database. Once in, you should be able to make a dump of the database.
I can setup the database for you, if i have a mysql user and password with create permissions. PM me, if all the credentials are correct, and you have a sql dump file, it should take me only a few minutes.
