Hi Rich

I suspect you have a "dba" OS account, but no "dba" Ingres user. 

Log in as the installation owner (ingres by default) and then using accessdb, create Ingres user dba. Then you should be able to log in as dba at the OS level and run accessdb. 

Note, you have to be a privileged user to run accessdb.
