Unable to read from or write to the database

Issue:
When attempting to use secedit to analyze a database (sdb file), you receive the following information - Unable to read from or write to the database
Environment:
Windows
Solution:
Although it is worth checking permissions on the sdb file, the issue was occurring because the read-only attribute was assigned on the file. Clear the bit, and try again.
