Your mention of security3.fdb indicates you are using Firebird 3, which
has multiple authentication models (Srp, Legacy_Auth). A user can be
created under each authentication model, with different passwords.

It sounds like you are using Jaybird 2.2.x, and it's authenticating with
the legacy SYSDBA account which still has the default password. Your new
users don't work because you created them as SRP users.

You either need to upgrade to Jaybird 3.0.x so you can authenticate with
SRP, or you need to make sure you create your users with the right user
manager (and don't forget to change the password of the legacy SYSDBA
account, or even drop the legacy SYSDBA user).
