Fallout 3 Message Board  

Guys i cant figure out this computer hacking thing. It says its supposed to tell me when letters/symbols i got right, and usually it does. Example being 2/5 correct. But ti does not tell me which letters are correct or anything like that which i thought it was supposed to do. Not only that but there is soooo many letters/symbols/words that i cant figure out the password. Even on the ones that say very easy i cant get them at all. This might be a dumb thing to bring up but can someone please clear this up for me what im supposed to do exactly?

I don't understand it either.

it's doing exactly what it's suppose to.

You click a word, it tells you how many letters you got right. you then take that information to pick another word. you have 4 shots.

if you don't get it on the 3rd. press the power button and just go back into the terminal. the password changes but you don't get locked out.

What i do is just keep choosing 3 random words and then going back in and back in until it unlocks. time-consuming sometimes but easier than trying to figure out those long words
