Brick's Password is one of three revisitation metapuzzles found in the final round of Huntinality 2022. Continuing from the previous rounds' metas where the goal was to discover one of the board members' usernames, these puzzles task solvers with discovering the same members' passwords, in order to log into their accounts.

Solve Path

As is the case with the other revisitation puzzles in this round, the key to solve this puzzle is knowing how the other puzzles from Brick Zander's round work. There are clues to this being the case that should be clear if any of the original puzzles have been solved, the most obvious of which being the extra "meta" in the same form as the ones from Click to revealChaos in Neopia and the Ninja video and accompanying text from Click to revealAsk A Ninja.

All of the pieces of this puzzle should be straightforward if the person solving it also solved the previous puzzles. If that's not the case, gather the team together and try assigning parts of the puzzle to people who worked on the original puzzles.

 

The first section is related to Morose Codes.

 

As the original puzzle required translating strings of letters into morse code and translating the result back to letters via another method, the first step should be to translate the text to morse. Since the entire text is made up of Ts and Es, which are represented by a single dash and a single dot, respectively, the letter groupings can be maintained and treated as new morse code letters.

In the original puzzle, extraneous letters in the resulting text were extracted, meaning 'W' is taken from this one.

The second section is related to Chaos in Neopia.
