If you can access the computer, as you're saying here :

Then go click on gate.exe and go back to Level 1: garage, then open the previously closed door.

Make sure to left click on the box first before typing. Also make sure to not hit enter on your keyboard, just the in game button.

I had this same issue and finally someone told me how to fix it.

You have to turn the VHS mode off in the settings. For some reason that's the only way you can type in the computer.

I did that and it worked.

Sorry for the inconvenience, try temporarily rebinding the keys that might interfere with the password.

Can confirm that if you rebind some keys, those keys no longer work for the input box. I couldn't stand Inventory being on I, so I rebound it to Tab(which I have for every other game). Couldn't type the letter i unless I rebound inventory to i again.
I did the key rebind. I go into the computer, try to left click the data entry box and type - nothing. esc check the VHS is off. nothing go back out and back in, then, sometimes, I can type the password but then clicking on OK does nothing. in fact as soon as I click to inteact with the computer the mouse loses contact with the game altogether and i have to click the interact key again and then it exits the computer and I try again. Getting nowhere.
