Don't worry, I know what to do :-)

I don't think they have any access left.

I had planned to  take care of all this when the new  server was up, but the
person supposed to build the basic server for me has been real real slow.

The plan  is to copy the  old server into a  subdir of the old  one, migrate
whatever data we need and switch  over when you're reasonably happy that the
new server is ready.
