If you are doing this locally then it appears you are running the
Classic server.
You need to use the tcp/ip local loopback server with Classic and
therefore also the remote gsec syntax:

gsec.exe -database "localhost:c:\Program
Files\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\security.fdb"
-user sysdba -password masterkey -modify sysdba -pw newpassw
