Fallout 3: Hacking Trick
When I started to play Fallout 3, I hated to hack computers because of all the save/load that I need to do. Then I discovered a hacking trick that allows to remove dud passwords.
By finding open and close brackets in the random code like these: (...), [...], <...>, or {...}, you can either remove bogus passwords or replenish your tries.
You'll know that you found it because it'll highlight more than just the bracket.
The amount of brackets are determined by your science skill, the difficulty of the hack and randomness.
You can usually remove all but 4 passwords on most computer which is an assured successful hack. One the easy computers, you can sometimes remove all the duds. Hacking computers in Fallout 3 just got much easier

Saving and reloading? You know you can just close the computer terminal with the red power button in the bottom right corner after you blow three tries, and then re-initiate the hack? It resets everything, including the words, but you don't have to save/load every time :)
That's awesome, thanks. I hate hacking too.
I know you can restart after three tries, but if you save/reload you get 4 tries and a better chance of completing the hack. This new method will make hacking less of a pain.
Try to be careful when hacking. If you close after three tries and reopen it hurts your KARMA.
