Fallout 3 Message Board  

I've started over three times already and I still can't find the exit to the vault. After the Overseer's daughter tells me they are coming to kill me, I take off and that's it. I almost never found the computer in the overseer's office to begin with and then couldn't hack out by using it. Nor could I open the door, the bobby pin and whatever messed up the lock and I can't find the key. Oh well I can't find what you do to get the code to hack the computer either. I've tried everything, including every cheat I can including "no clip," killed a dozen Radroaches, half the guards and even the Overseer himself but I still can't find my way out of the stupid vault. Can't find out how to use the weapons I have either, other than my fist, which won't be good enough if I ever escape to begin with. Can someone please help me.

You are supposed to go the the Overseer and press 'E' to look unto his inventory. You will see his keys, password, a police baton and a 9mm gun. Take all or whatever you choose to and proceed. No need to hack or lockpick anything.

I don't think you ever used the cheat "unlock"... either way, you can kill the Overseer and take password & key, or you can go to a locker to the right side of the room WITH the password in there.
