Thans for your valuable suggestion.
Can you please tell me the approach to modify the userId and password.

Unless there is something you are not telling, you don't have to do
anything. The database SERVER owns the logins and stores them in a
database called security.fdb (or security2.fdb if you are using
v.2). On all platforms the user SYSDBA is already there. On
Windows, the default password is already 'masterke' (only 8
characters of a password are read).

On Linux, the installation script generates a password of 8 random
characters for the SYSDBA. To find out what it is, read the text
file SYSDBA.password in Firebird's root directory. You can change
the password if you like, even to 'masterke'. Use the gsec utility for
that.

I guess you know that using 'masterke' (or masterkey) as the SYSDBA
is not a cool idea. Every man and his dog knows it and the SYSDBA
has destructive rights over all databases and their objects.
