The new DLC for Alan Wake II sure is frightening. But nothing is scarier than getting stuck on an obscure puzzle. These Computer Passwords are quite tricky. We’ve created a guide detailing how to find the passwords, and what the passwords are.
Lake House Office Computer
The first computer you’ll come across is in the main office on the ground floor of the Lake House facility. There’s a note detailing that passwords have to be something significant, not a current date, and be 6 numbers. Putting together some context clues around the room will help you figure this first one out. Search the room and look for any text with a bold number. That’s likely a hint.
You’ll find an article about the actress Hedy Lamarr, and find the significant number 38. You’ll also find a document stating that the Lake House will be finished on July 18. Remember that the Doctor whose office you are in is European, so they’d format the date as 18/07. Put these numbers together for the passcode.
The passcode is 180738.
Level Sublevel 2 Computer
Deeper into The Lake House is the second sub-floor, with another computer that requires some sleuthing to gain access to. You’ll need the Level 2 Clearance Keycard to access the room nearby where you’ll find some more clues. Inside is a computer that has some emails containing the information you’re looking for. A very special day related to a first date between two coworkers. The special day is a week from “this” Friday. “This” Friday being the first one in the week of September 14.
They also mention that the other part of the code is related to a “Brown shape with horns.” Next to the terminal is some text about different paintings. Find the one with the matching that description and examine its number. Put that together with the special date.
The passcode is 092225
Other Computers
There are a few more computers elsewhere in The Lake House that require a passcode. However, these are almost always accompanied with a sticky note with the passcode written on it. If you do this in real life, please consider at least putting the sticky note under your keyboard and not on the monitor.
