Firebird has no mandatory extension, usually developers uses .fdb or
.gdb, but it can be anything.

I suggest you to use FileMon/ProcMon/ProcExp from SysInternals, and look
for Open Files/Handles and see what it's using.

Anyway, you will need to know a user password to access the data, will
not enter in details how you could bypass it, but I think your best
option is to contact the software developer to know the file location,
Firebird Version, Login/Password.

see you !
