Luckily, MySQL 4.1 has a feature to preserve backward compatibility by using the "old" encryption for your passwords -- users with such password are able to connect via CocoaMySQL without any problem at all. Creating an "old" password is simple in the Terminal, using the MySQL command line interface:
SET PASSWORD FOR 'mysql_username' = OLD_PASSWORD('password');
[robg adds: I haven't tested this one. I would think that an update to CocoaMySQL would take care of the problem. However, according to their webpage, it hasn't been updated since Fall of 2003, so I'm not sure how likely that is.]
