# Reveal the password in the blank text

To get more evidence, a police is trying to hack a criminal's computer. He finds a suspicious transaction file, but it is protected by a password. Than he find a text file which he thinks contain the needed password.

He says to himself : "What a fool to save the password here"

But, when he open the text file it is blank.

Help the police to reveal the hidden password.

Note :
I can not upload the blank text file,
So, please click edit question, and check the code between two dashes.

• -1; IMO it's not good for the solver to have to hack the question-message (by clicking on "edit") in order to get to a vital part of the puzzle. – Rosie F Sep 1 '16 at 12:10

It's

because

The characters in the text file have the decimal ASCII values 32 (space) and 9 (h-tab) (not counting line breaks):

32 9 32 32 9 32 32 3232 9 9 32 32 9 32 932 9 9 32 9 9 32 3232 9 9 32 9 9 32 3232 9 9 32 9 9 9 932 9 32 32 32 32 9 3232 9 32 32 9 9 9 932 9 32 9 32 32 9 932 9 32 9 32 32 9 9
Now, for each line, convert 32 to 0 and 9 to 1:
010010000110010101101100011011000110111101000010010011110101001101010011
Then convert the bytes to ASCII:

• @numberknot Nice catch, no idea how I managed to miss the second 'S'. I edited the answer now. I think the capitalized 'H' is correct, though. – user14478 Sep 1 '16 at 9:10
