Just in case you tried to intstall mediawiki-1.4beta3 on MySQL 4.1.8-win; it does not work, at least, not on my machine. Just step back to MySQL 4.0.23-win and it installes perfectly.
I had the same problem (4.1 hashes the passwords in another way than 4.0 does) on OS X and solved it this way:
Tell the server to use the older password hashing algorithm:
Start mysqld with the --old-passwords option.
sudo vi /usr/local/mysql/support-files/mysql.server
Line 199
Assign an old-format password to each account that has had its password updated
to the longer 4.1 format. You can identify these accounts with the following query:
mysql> SELECT Host, User, Password FROM mysql.user
-> WHERE LENGTH(Password) > 16;
For each account record displayed by the query, use the Host and User values
and assign a password using the OLD_PASSWORD() function.
