myphpadmin/Mysql error.

[xene]

hello, am pretty new at this..so please be nice.🙂

i have everything intalled(apache 2.0/php5/Mysql 4.1) and everything work perfectly fine. but when i try

http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/index.php this comes up.

Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.6.0-pl2

phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in config.inc.php and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.

Error
MySQL said:

#1251 - Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

--- now i have gone over the config.inc.php file over and over and the password is the right one. i can even acces Mysql command client line with that password. wus going on? thanks.

try to downgrade your mysql version to 4.0

your problem is likely the mySQL 4.1 password hashing incompatibility. read this.
