Finding the Alan Wake 2 Witchfinder's Station computer password might seem like a puzzle but it's actually right in front of you. You'll find the Witchfinder's Station and its computer not long after the big Alan Wake 2 Nightingale boss fight in all his bare-butt glory. It's up in the northwest of Cauldron Lake, and serves as wider introduction for the Alan Wake 2 nursery rhymes you'll keep finding. However, Saga's powerful torch combined with your game's gamma settings can make for a blindingly bright light that obscures the note with the passcode on it. To help you out, here's the Alan Wake 2 computer password for Witchfinder's Station.

This Witchfinder's Station password shouldn't be a problem at all because not only is it just a four-digit password, it's right in front of you. The Alan Wake 2 computer password is 2547, as labelled on a yellow sticky note attached to the monitor. Because of the dim lighting in the Witchfinder's Station and how your torch tends to wash out anything you shine it on when you're too close, it's really, really easy to miss - as the majority of the GamesRadar+ team playing Alan Wake 2 can tell you.

So take a step back and use the slightly dimmer edge of the torch's light to see the post-it note on the computer. If you look at it directly with your torch it'll probably be impossible to see the writing on it. Instead, aim your torch so that just the edge of the beam is hitting the post-it note and should be able to pot that there are actually four numbers written on it, which are the password for the computer.

Once you've used that to access the computer you can find two emails waiting to be read. One is about the dolls you use for the nursery rhymes, while the other is a crucial piece of information about exactly who is behind the nursery rhymes themselves, and becomes a clue for the nursery rhyme case board. Be sure to pet the Alan Wake 2 deer head opposite the PC too!
