Backing up MySQL

[CJC]

My server is crashing adn I need a most current backup of cacti mysql. I inherited this application and the login for the db is giving me access denied. Is there another way to get the data off the server for a backup besides the backing up the db/

If anyone can answer asap that would be great.

Thank you
