So now I try

manager.createDatabase((databasePath), "SYSDBA", "masterkey");
//manager is a FBManager, note params not included in argument
DriverManager.getConnection(databasePath+params)

Any idea what's wrong with this one? I reinstalled firebird to make
sure that I was setting the password to what I am typing in. Is the
rror message saying it cant attach to a database with a password or
that the password isn't working?

ERROR MESSAGE:
