📝 Walkthrough
Overview
A new employee stands in front of a locked computer. Under the monitor, a sticky note reads "0404". The solved frame shows the computer booted to the desktop with a holographic keyboard and sparkles, and the message "Successful boot!". The password is written on the sticky note.
- Difficulty: Easy
- Estimated moves: 1–2
Step-by-Step Solution
- Look for a hint. Notice the sticky note stuck under the monitor; it reads "0404".
- Do not guess. Rather than trying random passwords, read the digits written on the note.
- Type the password. Enter 0404 on the password screen.
- It boots. The computer boots to the desktop. The "Successful boot!" result appears.
Strategy & Reasoning
The new employee does not know the password, but it is conveniently written on a sticky note under the monitor. Reading the note gives the password 0404, which unlocks the computer.
The puzzle is about simply reading the hint that is already on screen. Instead of guessing a password or hunting for clues elsewhere, you look at the note taped beneath the monitor. Typing the four digits shown on the note boots the machine. The joke is that the "secret" password is left on a sticky note right where anyone could see it.
Why not just guess a password? The new employee faces a locked computer and has no idea what to type, which would normally lead to random guesses. But the puzzle is really a reading exercise: the password is already written on a sticky note taped under the monitor, and it plainly reads "0404". Typing those four digits boots the machine straight to the desktop. The humor is that the "secret" password is left on a sticky note in plain sight, so hunting for clues elsewhere or guessing combinations is unnecessary. The holographic desktop and "Successful boot!" confirm the digits were correct.
Facing a locked computer with no hint, most people start guessing random passwords, but the puzzle is really a reading exercise. The password is already written on a sticky note taped under the monitor, and it plainly reads four zero four. Typing those digits boots the machine straight to the desktop. The humor is that the so-called secret password is left on a sticky note in plain sight, so hunting for clues elsewhere or trying combinations is unnecessary. The holographic desktop confirms the digits were correct.
All you have to do is read the sticky note under the monitor and type the four digits it shows. There is no trick combination, because the password is written out in plain sight for the new employee to use.
