The Alan Wake 2 Lakehouse computer password blocks your way within minutes of starting the DLC, while a level -2 code also appears later. Clear clues explain what the codes should be, but it's not easy to find the numbers you need or work out the orders to put them in to access the computers. The first code opens a security door, and the second lifts a lockdown, both critical things to complete if you want to proceed. If you're having trouble with either of them then I've worked out both the computer codes for you.
How to work out the Alan Wake 2 Lakehouse computer password
The Alan Wake 2 Lakehouse computer passcode is 180738. Enter that when prompted and then you can access the security door controls.
The Lakehouse computer code can be worked out using the security memo on the desk to the left of the screen. The memo explains that the code must be changed daily and should use a permanent set of numbers to start with, followed by some that change daily, but not birthdays or the current date. So that tells us that we need to find a number that would be a good contender for something consistent and one that could change daily.
The calendar near the memo provides the changing number, specifically today's information about how the actress Hedy Lamarr was also an inventor who designed a torpedo guidance system aged 38. (We know we can't use the actual date so that big 14 on the calendar can't be used, as tempting as it might be.)
As for the consistent part that doesn't change, if you check the framed diplomas and certificates on the far wall, you'll see a Notice of Appointment that states the Lake House facility was completed on July 18, giving us 18/07.
Combining the Notice of Appointment's 18/07, with the calendar fact's 38, gives us a 180738 code for the Lake House computer. So enter that to unlock the security booth door, and grab the Security Clearance 01 Keycard for the lift.
Alan Wake 2 Lake House lvl -2 computer passcode
There's another password needed for the Alan Wake 2 Lake House lvl -2 computer code. You'll find this when you get the Security Clearance 02 Keycard, and find some notes about paintings.
If you use the 02 Keycard to access the nearby door when you find it you'll find another computer with a note next to it saying an anniversary was a week from this Friday, while an email on the computer saying "Today's Password is the date of our SPECIAL UNFORGETTABLE ANNIVERSARY plus brown shape with horns."
If you check the nearby calendar you'll see a week on from 'next Friday' is 09/22, going from the 09/14/23 dates on both the notes and email. While the 'brown shape with horns' is the last painting on page 2 of the notes next to the locked computer, with the number 25. Making the Alan Wake 2 Lake House lvl -2 computer code 092225.
