Update....
I've manage to access the preinstalled database "employee" and also
create my own database to mess around with using IBadmin,
DbVisualizer-4.1.1, and FBRobin....
The prob I had was figuring out the the new DB "filename path": e.g.

localhost/3050:C:\\firebird\\my_test_dbs\\TEST.fdb

did the trick....

Also manage to register the DB with coldfusion downloading the Java
driver....
