Clue: it's not a Vista problem.
Solution: study the Firebird 2 release notes. Any method you
previously used to hack passwords in the security database will now
result in this error message. Briefly, now, all user access to the
security database must be through a view named users AND through the
Services API. If you copied and renamed an old security.fdb from Fb
1.5, that won't work either. All explained and solved in the release notes.
