The Lake House DLC for Alan Wake 2, released alongside the game’s anniversary update, plunges players into the role of Agent Kieran Estevez. Tasked with investigating a mysterious Federal Bureau of Control research facility, Estevez faces an immediate challenge: accessing the Lake House elevator. This requires a specific keycard, locked behind a six-digit code puzzle on a nearby computer. This guide provides a clear solution to this early puzzle, allowing you to progress quickly into the heart of the Lake House mystery.
Navigating the Lake House in Alan Wake 2 begins with a seemingly simple task: operating the elevator. However, players quickly discover that access requires a keycard with the correct security clearance. The path to obtaining this keycard leads to a computer terminal located in a large office adjacent to the elevator. This guide will unveil the six-digit code required to unlock the computer and progress through the Lake House.
Deciphering the Six-Digit Code
The solution to the computer password puzzle lies within the office itself. Clues are scattered around the room, waiting to be discovered. For those seeking a quick solution, the code for the Lake House elevator computer is 071838.

Unraveling the Clues
The first clue is found on a document next to the computer. It details the facility’s password protocol, advising staff to change their passwords daily. The recommended method involves using a fixed set of digits followed by numbers changed daily, ideally based on significant personal dates rather than birthdays or the current date. This immediately eliminates the date of September 14 visible on the nearby calendar. However, the calendar itself offers another clue: the “science fact of the day” features the number 38, which forms the final part of the password.

The remaining digits are found on a bookshelf across the office. Among the inspectable items is a letter detailing the facility’s completion date: July 18th, or 0718. Combining this with the previously discovered 38 completes the six-digit code: 071838.

Obtaining the Keycard
With the code entered, the computer unlocks the security system controlling a previously locked door on the other side of the office. Inside this room, players will find the coveted elevator keycard. With this obstacle overcome, the deeper mysteries of the Lake House await.
By following these steps, players can efficiently solve the initial computer puzzle in Alan Wake 2: The Lake House and continue their investigation into the secrets hidden within the facility.
