Dear All,

Earlier mesages had subject: Change sysdba password

I'm experiencing similar problems as Michel Francoeur had more than
half a year ago, also on Windows 2003. In the mean time, Firebird
2.0 is no longer beta. And BTW, I'm not a newbie to Firebird. I've
tried to find a solution in the release notes, but did not get a
clue from this lengthy document. Could somebody please try to help
me? The Firebird Server - DefaultInstance is indicated as "Started".
The path to the executable of this service is in my case: C:\Program
Files\Firebird\Firebird2_0\bin\fbserver.exe -s

Interbase is not installed anymore, but I often use IBConsole as
supplied with Delphi 7. Testing the connection from another machine
with IBConsole results in:
Attempting connection to skgr1219.
Socket for connection obtained.
Connection established to host 'skgr1219', on port gds_db.
TCP/IP Communication Test Passed!

However:
C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird2_0\bin>gsec
Cannot attach to services manager
unable to open database

And:
C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird2_0\bin>gsec -database
"localhost:C:\Program Files\Firebird\Firebird2_0\security2.fdb"
Cannot attach to services manager
user name and password are required while attaching to the services
manager
unable to open database

What am I doing wrong? Please help! TIA

Kind regards,
Dobedani
