Quick Start Guide p11 (should be in docs folder)

Default user name and password

The SYSDBA user has all privileges on the server. Depending on
version, OS, and architecture, the installation program will either

• install the SYSDBA user with the password masterkey (actually,
masterke: characters after the eighth are ignored), or
• ask you to enter a password during installation, or
• generate a random SYSDBA password and store that in
/opt/firebird/SYSDBA.password

If your server is exposed to the Internet at all and the password is
masterkey, you should change it immediately using the gsec
command-line utility.
