So, I guess the rot guys have gotten found out and got closed basicly? - Logan

Not necessarily, they might have just changed all the access codes as a precaution --Nickb123 (Talk) 07:46, 17 July 2006 (PDT)

Now Nick may I ask, where did you find that code? Point me to a line in the source. - Logan

Got it off the boards --Nickb123 (Talk) 08:11, 17 July 2006 (PDT)

Asked same question here: http://www.4815162342.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24008 Page 3, duncan gave me the answer, source code was changed to encrypt it this AM. --PandoraX 14:21, 17 July 2006 (PDT)

Does anyone know how they came across the new pw over the weekend? I know it was first on Lost-Ninja's forums, but I can't seem to get in to read the threads. It's obviously not something to be guessed, but a couple of RE guys said that they can't see how it was obtained through RE if this was a spoiler. --PandoraX 08:48, 17 July 2006 (PDT)

Hehe... also, I'm no longer on his top friend's list... :( This appears to be in-game, as he's changed it to only friends with no pictures (and at least some are real people--one is on my friend's list from earlier). He's msged some people hints about "the faceless masses" through myspace. --PandoraX 09:17, 17 July 2006 (PDT)

I've tried many of the words that could have been passwords (like "change" and "rebirth"), but i got nothing. dposse 13:02, 17 July 2006 (PDT)

Dposse, what are you talking about though, tried out passwords where? We already have the new password for ROT (it's that hugely long letter/number string on the main pg)... are you saying there's a second one? --PandoraX 14:18, 17 July 2006 (PDT)

I think its probably the name of a flower, clues including "wise old yellow" "aim for the stars", "a flowering" and "rebirth". A yellow star-shaped flower? Tried a daffodil but got nada --Nickb123 (Talk) 13:09, 17 July 2006 (PDT)

That could be anything. Sunflower, maybe? dposse 14:08, 17 July 2006 (PDT)

metamorphosis? lotus? (I don't know how to enter the password or I'd try those myself.) Jengod 14:19, 17 July 2006 (PDT)

Right now the only password that works is 1CF11D16-C378-4D5A-B038-00DF9ED171FF. In the source code for ROT theres some base64 code that translates to the following. Notice the "1CF11D16-C378-4D5A-B038-00DF9ED171FF"? That's where "polar bear" used to be. --Phmall 17:25, 17 July 2006 (PDT)

What i'm saying is, i really doubt that large alphanumerical password is the true password. There must be another, simpler one. Why would someone pick a password for a part of a game that is that random? The last two passwords had something to do with clues in the game. Why is this any different? What has changed that makes this password not part of a in game clue? dposse

OK, thanks for clarifying, DPosse, what you meant... I agree with you there. I wonder if maybe there have always been two passwords... one coded and one nondecoded; and it was just a fluke this one was found. The other thing I wonder is whether or not this password was "given" in a strange way, we just haven't discovered yet. --PandoraX 19:04, 17 July 2006 (PDT)

Exactly. I thought the new password was in the new newsletter. I thought it could have been one of the many keywords in the newsletter, like "change" or rebirth". But, nothing yet. dposse 19:17, 17 July 2006 (PDT)

Yea, The password probably will change to something a little easier, but right now its the only password that will work. Something to note, it looks like hex code. --Phmall 20:08, 17 July 2006 (PDT)

I still think its not a real password but a master code maybe. I mean perhaps TPTB underestimated us and didn't think we'd find it in the sourcecode? Theres probably a real, easier password to find --Nickb123 (Talk) 08:02, 18 July 2006 (PDT)
