What kind of problem? Not able to login to backend or something else? You 
should also tell us your exact configuration. TYPO3 v4 or 3.8.1

If you read the following post in bugtracker http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=2059, 
you may find the answer.

When you do an upgrade from 4.1.x to 5.0.x you may got settings that are 
more and less incompatible with TYPO3. They are explained in the bugtracker. 
The change from old to new password function hasn't made any problem on my 
hand. Have tested about 6 installations with MySQL 5.0.12->, and have two 
running today. One as a production server, and the other as a testing server. 
Not at problem. But both are clean installs. When upgrading, I have ecounter 
problems, all of the type in the bugtracker.

The Core of TYPO3 should run flawless with MySQL 5.0.x (version from 5.0.15-> 
are best). Some extensions could give problems.

If you are using T3 v4, there are a choice in install tool for setting MySql 
in MySQL4 mode.
