When you login to the admin area the settings tab has an extra rule applied to it, it uses the super admin rule that looks like this:
<?php if(WA_Auth_RulePasses("Super Administrator")) { ?>
This rule is based on the values from the globals file that are checked when you login. You will need to pass this super user rule to see the settings. It is based on the username and password in the wa_settings table.
You should FTP all of the files to your new server, then dump the db and import that. After you import the db you will need to go into the wa_settings table to update the URL settings for the remote and local roots. Other than this you just need to ensure that you get the files to the new server.
