You might find some help with this document: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Old_client.html
Specifically check out the information regarding resetting the password to an old style.

I tried to install binary mysql 4.0.20 on MacOS 1.2.8 Jaguar
The installer works but if I try to use the result I get messages including:
defaults undefined reference to _stpcpy expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
As Marc Liyanaage http://www.entropy.ch/software/macosx/mysql/
writes in his FAQsWhy do I get messages like
undefined reference to _BC expected to be defined in /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
when I try to use mysql?
You installed the wrong MySQL package (the one I made for Mac OS X 10.1) on a machine running Mac OS X 10.2 (or you never updated MySQL after updating to Mac OS X 10.2).
it may be that 4.0.20 has similar problems (not for 10.2.8?)
Thus I removed 4.0.20 and tried 4.1.3beta (earlier I hesitated to install a beta)
This worked.
MySQL server is run via a mysql user who was created by NetInfo manager according to
http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/osdb.html
I am able to access the MySQL server on the terminal/command-line with full root privileges (Actually also as a second user with the same privileges).
If I try to connect with CocoaMySQL it does not allow me to enter as root after I added a password to root (both on localhost and my numeric internet address.
Unable to connect to host localhost.
Be sure that the address is correct and that you have the necessary privileges.
As long as root had no password I was able to enter with all privileges).
Neither localhost nor my actual Internet number works.
I may still enter as mysql (no or empty password) with minimal privileges. Even accessing localhost without username works thus.
Probably I am missing some basic setting? What is the correct way to set up a user/pw for beeing acceptable for CocoaMySQL. Have I to change soccks,portal...? I do not assume this is a beta problem.
Suggestions welcome
Peter
