Try deleting and re-installing Skype. I don't know what the problem is but this worked for me.

Double click the home button and close the app (currently running in background) then restart the app - this solved it for me anyway

Re: Skype DB io error on new iPad.

I have an iPad 2 and this has just started happening to me. I have to delete the app and reinstall each and everytime I open Skype...it will not accept my password and gives this DB IO error. 

I have found no way to directly communicate with Skype unless they want to sell me something!! 

 

Who knows of a permanent fix?

No need to uninstall the App. Use a 4-finger swipe up to reveal the running Apps. Touch and hold the Skype icon until it shakes then press the small x to stop the App. Re-launch Skype from the home screen and it should accept your password. Not an elegant work-round but it works for me. With acknowledgement to Triple-Clones for the original post regarding this fix.

Re: Skype DB io error on new iPad.

Thanks for your help but I tried that first and it it would not accept my user ID and password, said it was incorrect. Then the error MSG came up. This happened on two different occasions. Uninstall and reinstall worked, but how does this get rectified, so we don't have to go through these hoops. That's what I want to know. Is it Skype's problem or Apple? If its Apple, they will be helpful, I'm sure.

Re: Skype DB io error on new iPad.

If you are having trouble with the account DB io error please see the recent topic made titled Fix for account DB io error please read!!! That topic will give you multiple solutions as to fixing the problem. None of them are a perminant fix but one solution will stop the error from popping up more frequently. All solutions have been tested on the iPhone 3GS and iPad 1/2
