Title: sync::routine
Post by: jkohen on Sun 08/08/2010 08:35:40
Nice game, I'm not finding it very hard, however I got stuck with the password.
Spoiler

I have the note from Miller's jacket, and his username, but I can't figure out the password. Although I assume the underlined letters have to be entered as numbers, I don't see the relationship with the two four-letter words hint on the wall.

Well, have you tried making two four letter words with the words on the note?

Stuck there, too.
Tried a few combinations

e.g. pr0ppl3a but didn't get nowhere fast.

Can't figure out the combo for the folder either.

I got the folder open by using the wire you get from your baseball cap and picked the lock right below the number pad

The underlining should help you choose which words to use

My mistake, I was trying the wrong username.

Same problem.

Spoiler
After looking at the hints here, I tried "r0p33a53", then "3a53r0p3", then "R0P33A53", and finally "3A53R0P3".  None worked.  Still completely stumped.

If you read the notes on the wall, you would've known it wouldn't be so simple :)
Besides, did you not get the other computer working?

actually,

It's possible to do that by brute-forcing the combo, e.g. 0-0-0, 0-0-1, 0-0-2, etc. until you get to the right combo

I got the other computer working, which was how I got the username I was trying (which was wrong).  Was the other one in there somewhere too?

look at the jacket, roman reads off the owner's name, "edward miller", and you just USERSEARCH "miller" to get his username.
