What is Jacob's password for in Fallout 4?
Before going any further, let's start by telling you that this Jacob's password on Fallout 4 is unfortunately subject to numerous bugs since the launch of the game. So, if the first method that we present to you does not work, test the second and hope to get lucky at this level!
But what is this password used for? Well, it will come in handy when you want to explore the Medtek Research Center. In fact, on site, you will need to go through a computer to unlock part of the place. Now this computer will ask you for Jacob's password. Let's see together how to get it!
Find Jacob's password during the quest “To Err is Human”
The first method to obtain Jacob's password is to go through the side quest “To err is human”. To find the latter, you will have to go to the town of Covenant where you will be led to investigate the disappearance of a merchant caravan.
Please note, for this quest to be accessible, you must not have completed the main quest of any of the factions in the game! To launch it, go to Covenant and speak with Swanson. Then progress normally in this secondary mission.
At some point, you'll question Talia or Penny and come back to town at night to search. To find Jacob's password, you will have to go to the city dormitory. You will find it on the bedside table.
Find the password during McCready's quest
As we have just seen, the previous quest is only available under certain conditions. If for you, it is already too late to do it, don't panic, there is another solution. For that, you will have to make friends with McCready so that he offers to help him with his quest “A Long Road”.
The interest of this quest is that it will not only allow you to obtain Jacob's password, but it also takes you directly to the Medtek research center. Simply progress through the quest until you arrive at the PC asking for the password.
When you get to that level, McCready will give you Jacob's password to access the rest of the events. Be careful, as we told you in the introduction, sometimes this quest bugs and it doesn't speak to you, thus not giving you the password. In this case, try reloading the game.
