Indeed. The ony password references I can think of are in:

1) The aforementioned TT flash file when decompiled
2) The TT memo

Though handwash was also talking about an ftp password for dreamprojector.com in this thread:

Granted I'm still new to this, but it seems wrong that a login and password to a memo be hidden in that poem.

It's too arbitrary somehow. The link between TT and DP is still geographical coincidence only at this stage, right?

Just my .02¢...

there ARE image files stating "client login", "username" and "password" in the TT flash file yes

In a good ARG there is a reason for presenting a puzzle.
It would have a significant relation or message.

At this point, there is no current relationship for a password to be posted on DeadPoems (allegedly written by a mental hospital patient in the past) to a current TV Production company website.

Also, decompiling flash is not standard puzzle solving.

If there is going to be a password protected area on a website, it will be obvious. For example, a link to employee email from the main website - you click on it and it will ask you for a login & password. Or you figure out an .html extension and when try to load that page, you are asked for a login & password.

At this point, my spec is that someone (via Ann) is trying to send out a message. Allegedly she channeled dead spirits (she wrote in different handwriting styles) and perhaps the spirits of the dead tv show contestants traveled back in time to communicate through her poetry and artwork. Now, if one of those dead persons happened to be an employee of TT - NOW we have a connection.

OMG - what if Richard Meyer was one of those employees??? Or Greg Boyle (both names mentioned in the memo).
/me eagerly awaits Ron's next email so she can start her MataHari routine.

I am going to take my own stab at this and I have come up with something a bit different than "ancient terror"

Looking at it from a much simpler point of view I took all the letters that were capitals. Here is the original text.

"aT Night ThE PaIN It sTArts TO eASe
As wOuNDs tHeY sTArT TO heAL
I wElcomE every nIGHtMare
ANd tHe FrEEDom ThaT I FeeL
reLEaSE ME nOW DeaTh"


now all the capitals are these
T NTEPIN I TATO AS
A OND HY TAT TO AL
I EE IGHM
AN H FEED TT I FL
LESE ME OW DT

I checked anagrams of the first line and lo and behold look at this
ITS NOT A PATIENT

the last line could be
SO WE MELTED
or
DOES WELT ME

the melted could go with the whole electro shock thing.

I tried a couple of other lines but unfourtunatly the combinations were a bit too much for me. and I'm wasn't even sure if I was on the right track... I dont know if anyone posted these already or not, But I did do a search.

I remember doing the anagram thing and getting A PATIENT IS NOT on irc the day the poem came out... and then getting a lot of gibberish for the other lines. I think the consensus was that anagrams weren't the way to go... but that first line still bugs me... I'm thinking there's an anagram there that I missed somewhere...
