Pulling stylesheet info when you can't log into your admin

I have an installation of 1.2.4 on an old server, and a new installation of 1.6.6 on a new VPS. I want to replicated one of the stylesheets (mostly color choices) from the old install onto the new one, but because of numerous problems, i'm unable to log into the old admin panel and actually see what the color codes are.
how else can i access that stylesheet, either through the mysql database, through ftp into some file, etc? Where would that info reside so that I could access it outside of the admin panel?

You can find all css stylesheets in the database table named css. Use a tool like phpmyadmin or similar

you can also look at the page source of a frontend page, find the stylesheet calls in the head, and paste them into the URL bar. This will provide you the stylesheet text, and you can copy/paste or find just the CSS you need.

that's not the issue, i know the username and password. it just clears the fields when input, without giving an error, and asks for username and password again. thanks to everyone's help in this thread.
