Reading of fiebird.log at server can help.

If you're using Firebird 3.0 or higher, that means that you're
connecting in Embedded mode, which doesn't do any password authentication.

Did you know you can simply copy the error message with Ctrl+C instead
of making a screenshot?

In any case, what error is in firebird.log?

If the log says something like

SERVER Sat Oct 28 10:07:26 2017
Authentication error
No matching plugins on server

Then it means that the AuthServer server setting of the server and
AuthClient (or its default) of your client did not have any matching
authentication plugins *or* you're using a Firebird 2.5 or older
fbclient.dll to connect to a Firebird 3.0 or higher server which doesn't
include Legacy_Auth.

The simplest way to prevent this error is to make sure the system
installed fbclient.dll matches your Firebird server version (or higher).
If the error still occurs after ensuring that, check if there is a
firebird.conf in the same directory as that fbclient.dll (e.g.
C:\Windows\System32), and if so what its AuthClient setting is.
