Wow that is very odd...considering the fact that vBulletin stores pretty much all its data in the database the board owner must really not know what they are doing to give you access to the db & ftp and not to the forum...
You might be able though its not a route I would take, you should get Admin access from the Super Adminstrator to transfer over the style. If you edit the database you will likely just run into more and more problems, then when you come and ask for help again people will just tell you to go back and follow the correct procedure as Marco has describe above.
Do it correctly the first time and you will save yourself a lot of hassle.
Unfortunately, this is a tricky situation. The old board was setup with an outsourcing company we no longer have contacts with. I could regain admin access using the do_not_upload/tools.php - but the login box was disabled in the template so I don't have an easy way to log in.
