Hi, I'm the maintainer and put together the code for this first working prototype of the digital version of the game. Thanks already for your feedback! I will gladly provide hints here if you get stuck :) Many thanks also to atum47, whose FOS, Fake Operating System I've used for the game. You can find it here: https://github.com/victorqribeiro/fos We have developed the game at the University of Applied Sciences and A…

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's there actually, inside part of the desk, which you don't need any knowledge to open. Just assume the person is stupid :P

Where? Do you mean the 2nd or 3rd drawer? In fact, I never managed to open the third drawer.

No the top one with the code. It provides a clear hint on the password of the computer. And the code is really stupid (not even a birthday or anything ;) )

Okay, I did find that hint, but the problem is, that while it gives you a hint on what you looking for, there are so many possibilities, how you can type a date as a password (assuming it is the 31st January 2010, which it is not):

2010-01-31

20100131

2010.01.31

31.01.2010

01-31-2010

01/31/10

31.1.2010

31st January 2010

3101

Just to give some examples. If the name of a person can be added, there are a lot more combinations. If there are even multiple people (as in this case) you might even think about mixing those dates.
