Using mysqldump file on fresh install

My nearly 10-year old installation of MLF is starting to do some strange things (can't edit users, for example) and I'd like to be able to do a fresh install then importing a mysqldump file.

I tried doing this on phpmyadmin, and it didn't work. I'd get a blank page, or once it seemed to work but without any theme.

It doesn't have to be from a mysqldump file, any way I can do a fresh install restore my current data would be great. Any suggestions?

Thank you!
Dan
