You have mysql 4.1.8, but your php was built with the library for an earlier version, which, as the error message says, doesn't support the new, more secure authentication protocol. Your choices are to tell mysql to use the older, less-secure protocol, or build a copy of php using your current mysql client library. See the manual for more <http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/old-client.html>.

Welcome to phpMyAdmin 2.6.1
phpMyAdmin tried to connect to the MySQL server, and the server rejected the connection. You should check the host, username and password in config.inc.php and make sure that they correspond to the information given by the administrator of the MySQL server.
