What's my root ftp login?

Apologies if this has been asked before (I did my best to search beforehand). A freelancer has installed VestaCP onto my VPS and I'm still trying to get to grips with it. I'm trying to import a database from my old shared hosting via PHPmyadmin - however I don't know the mySQL root password.

As i understand it I can find this information in a file located in the /usr/ directory, however when I log in as admin via my FTP client I cannot access the root directory at all and can only assume there's a root FTP login. Is there a default user / password for this or will I need to find the freelancer?

Update: Never mind - I was obviously very tired last night. I accessed the server files using WinSCP as opposed to using FTP.
