Question

I have an fdb file from which I’d like to recover data. Maybe something is wrong or I do not understand how it works but I was under the impression that the user authentication was handled by the server. I loaded the fdb file in my machine and I can see the table structure but it throws me an “invalid password” message when I try to browse the tables.

Ultimately I would like to export the data to another mysql server. So if there is a shortcut I could take to get there it would be great.

I’m way more fluent in Mysql and Sqlite so maybe there’s a basic firebird concept I do not get.

Firebird server version: 2.5.2 on windows
I used FlameRobin 0.9.2 to browse the db

I keep getting Your user name and password are not defined.

Answer 1

use the default password masterkey and user SYSDBA
With the firebird, the password is on the server and not in the database
