Password for Alan's computer in his laboratory?

[yumeglorp glorp]

I have been scouring for an hour now. The best clue I had was a photo of an apartment in Margaritia but it led nowhere. I thought this was similar to OK-chan's side quest where the pattern is hidden well but I have still not found any clues. I've been thinking of brute forcing the puzzle but then again there are 8 characters and 3 rows so that's going to take me at least 300 guesses.

1. Head back to Margaritia and look for that apartment again. You'll have to go all the way to the 'north-east' where you may find the depressed woman smoking. Go around to the right side and head south where you may find a horned man looking at a building to the right. Head up the landing and go inside. You know you're in the right place when you see a child's drawing on the wall. From there, you'll have to explore the area and scour for clues, especially looking for drawings on the floor and shelves that help you decode the three hacking nodes by the three pink teddy bears.

2. As for the code, I believe that this one helped me unlock it.

Thanks a lot, it worked!

I explored that apartment but the drawing seems incomplete? I get two characters but the middle character is a ? symbol. We're talking about the picture with the 3 fishes on the wall right? with 3 symbols below in Margaritia? The middle symbol is a ? mark for me.

I actually bruteforced it because I was only looking at the picture at the wall and was stuck... I feel ashamed, thank you Major Mario for pointing out that I should be more patient and aware of surroundings

coming back here to say that Major Mario's code worked for me. I think they could be randomly generated though so that was likely pure luck in my case.

To note, the image on the wall and the code I used were entirely different. None of the symbols were the same on the wall nor what I used.

edit: reference screenshot of what I saw but note that Mario's code worked which is entirely different:

I'm guessing you missed the entire underground area. Stand on the circle rug in the room with the first bear and there's an interact prompt.

Speaking of the underground area, having issues hacking the computer there.

I figured it out.

So apparently, that room I took a picture of, the door was locked. I had a feeling it was related to Alan but I couldn't get into it. At some point, I went back and was suddenly able to enter, find the small circle rug, and effectively, get the same passcode after unlocking about 3 bears. I don't actually know how or why I didn't have access to Alan's apartment prior and how I later got access after wandering around.

Just to add here - I'm also stuck at this point and the door in the apartment is still locked. Does anyone know how they gained access to that room? I assume that's how you get to whatever underground area everyone is talking about?

You need to defeat a certain boss to get the key to Dolly's apartment. The boss cannot be missed and is encountered shortly after you enter Allan's laboratory. The way back into the lab is temporarily locked, but you can go back as soon as you discover the next teleportation spring.

What do you do with the 3rd bear code?

That one unlocks the PC in Allan's lab, left from the teleportation spring.
