Description:
When connecting using an old client library to a new account in mysql-4.1.x there's this error displayed. I saw I had to recompile using the new client libraries but found that I just needed to downgrade the password hash.
I googled the problem and found the simpler fix.
How to repeat:
Use an old client library to connect to a newly created account in mysql-4.1.x
