I just found something... there's a pic you can see in http://alexloyola.com/pics/ubuntu.png (It's in the blog, don't remember which entry), but you can see the redloyola page behind with testUser written there as user name... maybe that's the user we need? Now to find the password...

EDIT: I was playing around with the password and then thought about looking at the source code in the login page... look what a "curious" string...

Wow, I feel dumb. Didn't notice that those all were in the blog already.

[jackskelyton]

I tried the following possible passwords with username "testUser" with no luck, so folks don't repeat my mistakes and waste time

meren

panal
redloyola
steph
stephanie
testUser
drpepper

The password is likely contained within the hidden code that Tenchizard found:

[Doug52392]

Where's the logon page?

While looking through his blog I found!

Once again, for those just joining the fun, here's a summary of everything we know so far, along with current progress:

Well, I've had a few ideas on our encrypted password, but haven't come to any solid conclusions.

R+G-BHR*B-RdB/2+RaG-B-GjB-G

The first thing I noticed about the code is that it mainly consists of R's, G's, and B's, which I at first glance associated with the RGB color scheme. Maybe the decryption is color-related? On that note, the code may be related to the fragmented image files on Alex's Flickr page.

The code, when converted to decimal, binary, and hexadecimal, looks like the following:

Decimal: 82 43 71 45 66 72 82 42 66 45 82 100 66 47 50 43 82 97 71 45 66 45 71 106 66 45 71

Binary: 01010010 00101011 01000111 00101101 01000010 01001000 01010010 00101010 01000010 00101101 01010010 01100100 01000010 00101111 00110010 00101011 01010010 01100001 01000111 00101101 01000010 00101101 01000111 01101010 01000010 00101101 01000111

Hex: 52 2B 47 2D 42 48 52 2A 42 2D 52 64 42 2F 32 2B 52 61 47 2D 42 2D 47 6A 42 2D 47

Treating the code as a direct equation, I tried substituting each of the letters for their decimal equivalents, which produced the following:

R+G-BHR*B-RdB/2+RaG-B-GjB-G
=
82+71-(66*72*82)*66-(82*100*66)/2+(82*97*71)-66-(71*106*66)-71
=
-25920390

Unfortunately, the numerical result was not the elusive password. For now, I'm stumped...

[Tenchizard]

When I saw there could be a difference between capital and non-capital letters, I thought ASCII values could be involved, so I did the equation too, both translating the 2 and not translating it. Nothing seems to work as a password. I even translated back to ASCII symbols using pairs of numbers, but didn't work as a password. The fact the number gets negative didn't help either.
Ah, and the "words" of three letters (HBR, RdB), I did translate them as a big number, not as products: HBR=667282

So yes, I'm stumped too.

I just saw that the group of photos on the flicker site is called "vuelo a e.u.a" which means flight to e.u.a. EUA could stand for "Estados Unidos da América" or what babelfish gives me "United States gives America"(I think it means "of")
EUA could stand for something else like a airport code, but the one I found is Ohonua, Eua Island, Tonga (EUA-Kaufana) and thats a little off the clues we have so far. maybe some one else has a idea of what it could be?

[Tenchizard]

I'm really thinking they're using a non-spanish person to make all those alex' clues, as EUA could translate to USA, but what we really use is EEUU.

Also, there's a link to facebook in alex blog, but I can't seem to find his account. I tried searching for alex, loyola and alejandro, but can't find his profile anywhere.
