The Marvel's Spider-Man 2 lizard password at Doctor Connor's house is a New Threads mission puzzle with solution worked out from various clues in the house. Solving it will get you access to a laboratory in the basement underneath. You can actually skip this puzzle through the game options if you like, but if you want the satisfaction of solving it and need a helping hand, here's the explanation to get the password to the lizard's lab in Marvel's Spider-Man 2.

What is the lizard password in Marvel's Spider-Man 2?

The Spider-Man 2 Hybrid puzzle is another science-y challenge we can guide you through if you need help to get that DNA sorted.

Exploring Dr Connor's house ultimately leads you to the kitchen where you'll find a heavy wooden cabinet you can interact with. When you do it will reveal a computer keypad with four colored keys and the option to enter a password. You will have noticed the children's area on the way through, and probably played with the small toy keyboard that plays 'Old MacDonald' when you press the barn symbol. The colors and melody there are your solution. The color of the keys, as well as the barn sticker on the screen, link the screen to the toy.

The Spider-Man 2 lizard password solution is to play the first four notes of Old MacDonald as they appeared on the child's toy, pressing the keys in this order:

  • Purple, purple, purple, green

That's 4, 4, 4, 1 matching the dice-like dot numbering on the keys.

You can see when you're getting it right as green lights appear at the top of the password panel as you enter the correct notes. Once it's done a secret door will open up and you can carry on with the mission.

The clues are basically everywhere. As well as the toy that plays the tune downstairs, you might have also found a mobile in a room upstairs that also played the tune when you first entered the house. It's the keyboard toy, though, that gives you the pattern you need, matching the code panel exactly and letting you work out the solution without actually understanding the musical notes.
