Hi Helen
I thought I'd replied to this but it must have got lost in space - so
here goes again

here's the command lines

C:\Program Files (x86)\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\bin>gsec -user SYSDBA
-password mas
terkey -database "localhost:c:\program files
(x86)\firebird\firebird_1_5\security.fdb
GSEC>
GSEC> mo SYSDBA -pa 666
GSEC> q

log in to GSEC again to see if pw changed

C:\Program Files (x86)\Firebird\Firebird_1_5\bin>gsec -user SYSDBA
-password mas
terkey -database "localhost:c:\program files
(x86)\firebird\firebird_1_5\securit
y.fdb
GSEC>

still using masterkey

FB Version WI-V1.5.6.5026

I'm hoping I'm doing something stupid and you can put me right!

Regards
Paul
