Passwords in mysql 4.1.0.-alpha

I installed the version 4.1.0-alpha of mysql in
Windows XP. At the beginning and in general everything
works very well. But I have a problem of
incompatibility (I guess). When users are created with
passwords, those users cannot be connected. Mysql
says: "Client don't support the authentication
protocol required by server, consider upgrade client".
What happen ????
Thanx.

MySQL 4.1 uses new authentication protocol which is not supported by
elder client library, so you need to upgrade client libraries your
software uses in order to be able to login.

If you have software which has statically compiled client library, you
might have problems upgrading. In this case start MySQL Server with
--old-passwords option and set password for user you're trying to
connect with once again. This will result in elder authentication being
used.
