Before you move on to the solution, think and focus and show that you deserve the IQ you have.

using paper and pen You can solve it more easily.

If you feel like you’re wasting your time, let’s get right to the solution:

Hint 4: 738: (All digits are wrong)
First you need to start from this tip. Because we know that the numbers 7, 3 and 8 should not be used. Which brings us to the next clue, which includes 3 and 8.

Hint 5: 380: (One digit is correct but in the wrong place)
So the correct digit here is 0. If its location is incorrect, it must be either in the first digit or in the second digit.

Hint 3: 206: (Two digits are correct but both are in the wrong place)
Since 0 is the correct number, then either 2 or 6 is correct. Given that two correct numbers are in the wrong place, then the 0 cannot be the second digit. Since we know that it cannot be in the third digit, we find that the exact location of the 0 is the first row.

Hint 1: 682 (One digit is correct and in place)
We eliminated the number 8 in the first place, since we know that 6 is replaced by 0, the last digit must be 2.

Hint 2: 614: (One digit is correct but in the wrong place)
After that, it’s child’s play. We only need one digit, according to the clue one digit is in the right but wrong place so our answer should be 4.

Thus, our password is decrypted.

Congratulations to those who can unlock it!
