RE: Trouble accessing local data

["Jerome King" <jejeking@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Takuji,

MySQL 4.1 and up uses an authentication protocol based on a password hashing 
algorithm that is incompatible with LAS I guess. So Mysql offers a way to 
use the old password protocol for older client.

Check out this page...they explain how to switch to the old protocol:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/password-hashing.html

Cheers,
Jerome.
