This is permanent solution. Instead of typing this "SET PASSWORD FOR peter@localhost = OLD_PASSWORD('something');" in the command line client for every single user, do the following:


Find "my.ini" inside windows directory and insert the following lines (First line is just a comment, it can be ommited)

#Use old password encryption method (needed for 4.0 and older clients).
old_passwords

Restart the service for the changes to take place.
