MySQL Error

[obrienkev]

Hi all,

Why do I get this error when trying to log into phpmyadmin....

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

You have to change to the old password method

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/old-client.html

mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd')
-> WHERE Host = 'some_host' AND User = 'some_user';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

did that but now webpage hangs. any ideas??
