Ok, you have read something you found on google about this problem.
Hence, you know that MySQL 4.1 and up uses a new password hashing
algorithm, do you? And, why not looking into the MySQL docs when your
search at google fails? Please, read your problem's solution at

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html

I think, it is a good idea to search for more detailed explanations
using google -- particularly, before starting a new thread here. I
suggest you try out every solution proposed on the website above,
there're just four of it.

Btw, I have had this problem a few days ago as a result of upgrading my
MySQL server too. And I can guarantee that the first solution mentioned
there is the easiest way to be satisfied, IMHO -- ok, a nice (closed
source) freeware tool I used on my windows box for many years to manage
the database wasn't updatable, but MySQL itself provides a small tool
with a similar functionality -- hence, it doesn't matter to me ;-)

fabian
