XF 1.5 How would I transfer my Xenforo forums from one server to another?

[D3monw3st12345]

Hello, my forum is currently running XF and i'm looking to transfer it over to a new dedicated server I have just purchased. I accidentally installed XF 2, when my old forums is on XF 1.5, or 1.7, need to verify this. I have a custom theme created for me and the creator has instructed me to create a back up of the database and put it into the new server. Now, I don't have the root password for the sql database, and i'm not exactly sure how to transfer over the forums. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you!

The database information is in your library/config.php file if you're on XF 1 (src folder for XF 2).

1. Back up the files and the database.
2. Move it to the new server.
3. Change details in the config.php file if necessary.
4. Point your domain to the new server and wait for DNS propagation.
