The Witchfinder Computer Password, which is 2547, is used to open up the administrator in the Witchfinder’s Station, northwest of the map. 

To find the Witchfinder Computer, you first need to ensure that you’ve already beat Nightingale, which opens up the whole of Cauldron Lake for exploration. If you’re still stuck on that part, check out my guide on how to figure out where Nightingale went. Once you’ve done that, you can head to the northwest portion of the region to enter the Witchfinder Station. Head straight through the front door to find the Witchfinder Computer on the table.

Discovering the Alan Wake 2 Witchfinder Computer Password isn’t as tricky as you might think. The area around the computer is quite dark, but if you turn on your flashlight, you will notice there is a yellow sticky note.

  1. Point your flashlight at the flashlight to reveal the password, 2547.
  2. Many players have issues with this puzzle due to the lighting in the station.
  3. If you hold down the aim and then point at the sticky note, you can read it more clearly.
  4. Also, the terminal shows the potential of a six-figure password, whereas the actual password is only four digits.
  5. Enter it in the computer to unlock a bunch of emails.
  6. The emails will help progress your investigation of the Nursery Rhymes in Cauldron Lake and in discovering the person behind them.

My Experience With The Puzzle

I was one of those players who found it hard to spot the Witchfinder Computer Password despite it being right in front of my eyes. The main issue was the sticky note being poorly lit and the administrator password showing the possibility of a six-figure code, whereas the actual code was only four figures. But just trying it to see if it’d actually work ended up unlocking the computer.

With that, you now know that the Alan Wake 2 Administrator Password is 2547. The puzzle isn’t as tricky as it is just hard to spot due to poor lighting. While you’re already in the area, check out the General Store Shotgun Code.
