Can you help me come up with movies that have passwords in them?

Asked by YoKoolAid (2424points) May 31st, 2011

Passwords or even combination locks. For example:
Wargames – password to get into the school computer
Small Soldiers – password used to buy military chips
Hackers – the four most commonly used passwords
Space Balls – 1,2,3,4,5

Also, doesn’t have to be computer passwords, spoken as well. Such as:
Eyes Wide Shut – Fidelio

You don’t need the answer, just examples of passwords in movies.

My first date with my future husband was seeing that film!

@crisw cool. The scene that stuck out in my memory was the one where they are trying to figure out just where Irwin was taken when he was kidnapped. I love the way they figured it out.

Trivia: Ace Ventura: Pet Detective – what’s the password to get into the back room of the rock club?

@tranquilsea Yes that was unforgetabble. Plus that one when they figured out from what turned out to be a puzzle, anagram of “Setec Astronomy” was “Too many secrets”. That movie was fun. That was the first time I saw a scene in a movie where the characters got their wishes granted by the goverment and all River Phoenix wanted was the pretty FBI lady’s phone number. Lol. That kind of scene was only repeated, as far as I know in “Armageddon”.

Not a movie, but there was an episode of Babylon 5 in which 3 main characters revealed their passwords.

Also, Lord of the Rings. “Speak, friend, and enter.”

There was a movie starring Patrick Stewart as a guy who was involved in some sort of intrigue and who was afraid he’d forget his computer password. He tested his memory on it every day and also performed feats of memory as a way of exercising his mind to stay sharp.

I’ve forgotten the name of it. It wasn’t actually a very good movie. I think Patrick Stewart has been in at least as many awful pictures as wonderful ones.

Found it in IMDb: Safe House.

Spaceballs. “So the combination is… one, two, three, four, five? That’s the stupidest combination I’ve ever heard in my life! The kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!”

Does Mercury Rising count? Not so much a password but a codebreaking scenario.

@tranquilsea @mazingerz88 @crisw I was thinking of Sneakers too, just not the actual name of the film
