All the solutions for the passwords in Alan Wake 2: The Lake House.
All six-digit codes from the downloadable content The Lake House of Alan Wake 2, whether they come from complex puzzles or those noted on sticky notes.
One of the most common puzzles in Alan Wake 2 involves computer passwords, and the Lake House DLC is no exception. Players must decipher a six-digit password using the clues found in the documents around them, or sometimes they can unlock computers by observing the sticky notes on the monitors. These solutions are not always obvious, which can complicate identifying the correct numbers based on the available clues, as well as the order in which they must be used.
To enhance the experience in Lake House, here are the solutions to the computer password puzzles.
Elevator Card Access Computer Password
In the early moments of the Lake House DLC, it is necessary to unlock a computer on the ground floor to gain access to the main elevator of the research facility. To obtain the elevator card, the password is 071838. To solve this, one must refer to the document and the calendar to the left of the computer, as well as the framed letter on the shelf in front. The password changes daily, and the company suggests using permanent numbers for the first four that represent significant dates. From the framed letter, it is revealed that the construction of the facility was completed on July 18, which translates to 0718. Finally, the number 38 is taken from a fun fact on the calendar.
Sublevel 2 Computer Password
In Sublevel Two of Lake House, players will arrive at the Control Center intending to lift the blockade, only to find that the computer is locked. The password to unlock the computer in this sublevel is 092225. This solution requires more investigation than the previous puzzle, involving art documents to the left of the computer, as well as email records and a calendar in another room. To unlock Office 2.4 connected to the Control Center, you need to eliminate a Shadow and check the emails on the computer. The second most recent email mentions that today's password is the anniversary date of this person with another researcher plus "Brown Shape with Horns". The anniversary clue is found in a document on the same desk, indicating that the anniversary is one week from next Friday, and the note was written on September 14. Checking the calendar confirms that the anniversary is on September 22, which translates to 0922. To obtain the 25, you need to review the documents about art projects next to the Control Center computer; the piece titled "Brown Shape with Horns" has the number 25 at the end, resulting in the final password of 092225.
Sticky Note Computer Passwords
In addition to commands that require intricate puzzles, any other computer in Lake House can be unlocked simply by checking the sticky note attached to the monitor. It can be tricky to read if you find yourself in a dark room, and unlocking all computers will grant you the Trophy/Achievement called "Hard Work." If you missed any, here they all are:
- Sublevel One (near the Black Rock Launcher): 021219
- Sublevel Two (near Ed Booker): 123456
- Sublevel Four (in Dr. Marmont's office): 685298
