John Ada Mole

[JackRyanLives]

Greetings. Having been preoccupied with parenting, home making, and wage earning for the past 17 years, I've only recently begun playing video games. I decided to sart with an old platform (the PS2) and an even older game, the original Resident Evil.

My question concerns the username and passwords (John, Ada, Mole) required to unlock the doors in the laboratory. The username and passwords are easily found on the Internet. But is/was there any way to discover them without consulting an FAQ, Walkthrough, Strategy Guide, etc.? If not, then is this typical of action/role-playing/puzzle-solving games in general, ie there are things you will never know unless someone tells you?

Well in these types of games you have to solve the riddles to get any such thing.... you were given clues to figure out any such thing.

Generally these things are mentioned in files and documents that u came across in the game, which also contains info about passwords, codes, hints and location for the certain things. Also when u check on the dead bodies you find documents and etc.

I've played this game long ago so actually don't recall it.

Thanks for your reply!

The solutions to some of the puzzles in the game are much less than obvious, but I can conceive of having found them if I hadn't lost patience. For example, I might have eventually noticed that there's a gap in th dining room balcony railing, and I might have eventually decided to try pushing the nearby status through it and onto the groud, thereby ****tering it and retrieving the gem necessary to obtain a courtyard seal, that sealing being essential to leaving the mansion.

But guessing a correct username and two passwords, with no hints or clues, well, that would seem to be impossible under actual playing conditions (that is, without the ability to run a password cracking program testing thousands of username/password combinations per second).

I wonder if there's anyone reading this board who actually discovered the username and passwords instead of obtaining them from a walkthrough, cheat sheet, or strategy guide? If so, then how did you do it?

Hmm ...

I haven't been checking bodies except for the dead STARS team members. I'll give that a try, thanks.

You are welcome.

I remember there being a painting with words written on it, but you could only see them after pressing a switch, I think that's how you're supposed to work it out, but that was a long time ago and I can't remember it that well.

Greetings.

With a bit of help from an online FAQ, I was able to obtain the username and passwords. There's a "scientists' quarters" room, and in that room there's a desk, and on that desk is a letter that contains the username and password. The secondary password, required to unlock the B2 Level doors, is in code, but the code can be deciphered by pressing a switch that illuminates a painting on the wall with black lighting.

The biggest obstacle to this discovery (for me, at least) is that the door to this room can barely be seen. I had walked right by it at least a dozen times.)

Cheers
