The client library that Administrator is using is from the 4.0.x which
is too old to understand the new password scheme.

You should use old-passwords option or get a version of mysql-admin
linked with a newer library. Debian has mysql-admin linked with the
4.1.x client library. I'm assuming MySQL AB links their client with a
new library as well.
