MySQL Forums :: Install :: "mysql_connect(): Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client"

Hi

I have installed mysql 5.0 and when I try to connect from command line it gives me an error
E:\>mysql -h localhost -u root -p
Enter password: ********
ERROR 1251: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server;
consider upgrading MySQL client

But when I set the password for root user or any other user to null is connects fine.
Also It connects fine from MySql Administrator.

Could someone guide me to over come this hassle.

Thanks
