isql ignores username and password arguments if a -x or a -a is also passed as an arg.
Example:
isql server:c:diremployee.gdb -x -user sysdba -password masterkey
generates the error:
Your user name and password are not defined. Ask your database administrator to set up an InterBase login.
If you have physical access to the database, or the ISC_USER and ISC_PASSWORD environmental variables are set then isql will not generate an error. For more information on the ISC_USER and ISC_PASSWORD environment variables see chapter 3 of the API Guide.
