The Wellness Center is a location in Alan Wake 2's Bright Falls that players will visit during the Return 5: Old Gods chapter. Not long after entering this location, fans will find that there progress is impeded by a locked door, and they must use a computer in the Security Room to bypass this obstacle. Alan Wake 2 players cannot simply walk up to the computer and disarm the lock, though, as a password is required, and this guide contains full details on the code that must be used.

Alan Wake 2: Wellness Center Password

For those players whose primary interest is accessing the contents of the Wellness Center computer as quickly as possible, its password is 170823. Indeed, fans of survival horror video games that input those digits into the computer will immediately be taken to a new a screen, upon which they can unlock the door that has been preventing them from continuing their pursuit of Tor.

While players now have all the information that they need to continue progressing through Return 5: Old Gods, a more thorough explanation of how the Wellness Center computer password in Alan Wake 2 is determined may be of interest. To begin, it is important to establish that there are three items in the Security Room that are of interest, and they are as follows:

  1. The calendar on the wall, which provides dates for the phases of the moon.
  2. A note from the Koskela brothers in the filing cabinet, which indicates that a ceremony will occur the "day after the next new moon."
  3. A journal near the sink, which confirms that August is an important month and that the DD/MM/YY date format is to be used.

With all of this established, players can check the calendar to learn that the August 2023 New Moon occurs on the 16th of the month. Alan Wake fans can then move forward one day and change that date to match the previously noted format. Those actions will lead players to 17/08/23, and indeed that is the Wellness Center computer password.

To note, the door through which Tor passed is not the only that is unlocked by interacting with the computer in the Wellness Center Security Room. Indeed, players will also be able to use a newly-unlocked door to enter the Staff Lounge and access the desk in Ward Reception. Here, fans will find a door knob, which can be used to enter a room that holds Alan Wake 2's Hunting Rifle.

Alan Wake 2 is available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
