Password: 123

Info

The password for Century5 is the name of the file within a directory on the desktop that has spaces in its name.

NOTE:
– The password will be lowercase no matter how it appears on the screen.

Theory

To get the password, we just need to enter a folder with spaces, and apparently there's a file of which's name is the password for the next level. We don't get much for commands, so I'll just guess with the name here:

cd "Folder name with spaces"
dir

Solution

Now that we are in we can actually enter the folder, getting the name from using dir:

PS C:\users\century4\desktop> dir


    Directory: C:\users\century4\desktop


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
d-----        1/22/2025  10:32 PM                Can You Open Me

So we'll just use cd with quote characters to specify the name and not additional parameters from the spaces:

PS C:\users\century4\desktop> cd "Can You Open Me"

PS C:\users\century4\desktop\Can You Open Me> dir


    Directory: C:\users\century4\desktop\Can You Open Me


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                -------------         ------ ----
-a----        1/22/2025  10:32 PM             24 6265

And that's the password! Now we should be good to go to the next level.
