866-540-???? (my eyes aren't fast enough) anyone catch the last four digits?
extension - 1444 (as far as I could catch)
I've taped it, but I can't check yet because I'm taping ER.

866-540-5838 - It connects you to "the Carson City office of the IRS" where you are asked to enter an extension. Ira's extension is 1444, which connects you to his voicemail where you're prompted for a password.
I didn't catch an obvious password during the show... anyone know?

Ira Glassman's Ext. #1444
Ira Glassman's PassCode: 4724
(Paraphrase)
Msg#1 (Seems like somebody from a different "branch" of the gov't)
"Mr. Glassman,
It has come to our attention that one of your lower level employees (Grace) did an unauthorized search, this coupled with the rogue agent in Push (Prufrock) ....blah...blah...blah. We've sent a team from Provo to clean up the mess."
Msg. #2 (Sounds like somebody a little more heavy handed than the guy above but could be the same "dep't)
It's IMPERATIVE that you (b)ring (maybe rein) in the agent in Push (Jim). The measures we have currently in place seem to be working. If we don't get control of this some drastic measures will have to be taken against Prufrock....and yourself.

(I've commented about the message itself in SPEC.)
I also caught the 1444 easily enough, but missed where the 4724 came from -- altho we see it is now on the (probably not in-game but a fan site) www.speedhuntingclub.com/dawn.html page.

OK, i did assume that the show gave the password first, and then this mystery fan quickly updated his speedhuntingclub page. And I can see after the fact how IRAG is the password. Congrats to all who figured this out.
My question is still about *where* the hint was given in the show. Did i miss a point where Ira's nameplate was blatently in my face with everything after the G obviously obscured on purpose? Was there any reason to even guess that people all use their name+intial as a password? Or was it divine inspiration?

But what about the "go" and "org" on the page too? Has that led to anything?

catherwood,
I don't remember exactly where I saw it but it was on a message board somewhere, I didn't find it myself and can't give credit where credit is due because I was taking a bunch of notes and wrote down the passcode next to the phone number while traipsing around the net. I subsequently saw it somewhere else too. I called the number and used the passcode later after I had finished surfing/jotting and did not write down the message board or poster of the passcode.
It seems easy enough after the fact but I doubt I would have personally come up with it. So I'm not sure if there were any clues to the passcode in the show that the poster used or not.
