can I login to cpanel with IP?

I tried: http://xx.xx.xxx.xx~/username:2082/ (or /cpanel/) and it does not work...

The reason I cannot login with the domain name is because it's DNS is already pointing to a different server (but he still has an "account" with a username on the old server.

Also, I'm trying this because when copying all accounts from 1 server to the other, for some reason, it did not copy the sql databases (does anyone know why?) and so I'm looking now to get into cpanel and backup and retrieve the DB from there. I cannot just recopy the whole account because it has been updated since (on the new server) and I don't want to "replace it with the old account).

Is there any other way to do this? (I thought maybe ftp, but I don't know what files to look for...)

Any help would be greatly appreciated
