Not answering your question directly. But here's a clue : ShellExec + (gsec -user sysdba -password <password> -database <databasename>)
IMHO The dba admin should be controlling passwords, not end users. Tails should not wag dogs.

I am as well hardcoding the username am I not, since only this username will have full rights over the database? The username is not something that they will be able to change. It would be nice to allow my user to change the password however and so this could be encoded and stored in the registry/ini file. The database location is not hardcoded, this is already stored in an ini file. How can you, from within Delphi, change a Firebird user's password?
