Aah ok,

this is what i did before and it worked also:
gsec -user SYSDBA -database localhost:"C:\Progra~1\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\security.fdb" -password masterkey;

But for now i am into other trouble and found a solution on accessing a database with isql.exe like this (just to let users know, if having trouble with the string/paths)

SQL> CONNECT "localhost:C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\example\employee.fdb" user 'SYSDBA' password 'myPW';

Phew this firebird is a really hot thing i have to cool down a bit now, so thanks for help again!

All the best
Pat
