title: Firebird database SYSDBA connection error
body: <p>I just installed Firebird for Win64, and I was trying to connect to the employee database which comes pre-packaged with ISQL.<br/>
  Following the steps from the Firebird official <a href="https://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/reference_manuals/user_manuals/html/qsg3-config.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer"> QuickStart </a> Documentation I opened the ISQL utility and entered:</p>
  
  <pre><code>connect localhost:employee user sysdba password masterkey;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As a result I got:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Statement failed, SQLSTATE = 28000
  Your user name and password are not defined. Ask your database administrator to set up a Firebird login.
  </code></pre>

  <p>Strangest thing is that if I navigate to the employee database sample itself and issue the isql command from there I can successfully connect.
