The default (installed) password for user SYSDBA is masterkey.

For information about using isql to connect to or to create a database see
the Operations Guide of the IB6 beta docs set.
Start with the IB6 docs which you can get from the section Downloads >
InterBase at www.ibphoenix.com
Pick up a desktop admin tool from the pages of links there too: see the
section Downloads > Contributed

Hit the Knowledgebase there, too.

I suggest you find your way around first with one of the tools and then
approach ODBC when you know what you want to do.
