Forum Post: RE: Connection error question

Hi, For benefit of the forum, was it related to MySQL 4.1 style passwords?  Here is the relevant text: In Toad for MySQL 7.2 or later, when connecting to MySQL using a connection created in Toad for MySQL 7.0 or earlier, some users may encounter the following error: "Authentication with old password no longer supported, use 4.1 style passwords." This is an error message from MySQL database and indicates that the connection password was created in a pre-MySQL 4.1 database. Workaround: Connect to the MySQL database using Toad for MySQL 7.0 and run the following script. Replace the YOURDATABASEPASSWORD string with the actual password. SET SESSION old_passwords=0; SET PASSWORD=PASSWORD('YOURDATABASEPASSWORD');
