Unable to connect MySQL Authentication with old password no longer supported

Hi,

I am new to Power BI and i need to connect to an old MySQL database to produce reports.

Here is the error

Unable to connect

We encountered an error while trying to connect.

Details: "MySQL: Authentication with old password no longer supported; use 4.1 style passwords."

I don't know how to proceed.

Should I change the MySQL database installation ? Is this advisable?

Should I find a workaround to use a different MySQL Connector? 

I tried to uninstall every MySQL related application in my computer and the error persists.

I appreciate any help.
