In the film Ready Player One, we catch a glimpse of Nolan Sorrento’s password written on a sticky note stuck to his chair. Later, we see Wade use this password to hack into Sorrento’s system.

The password is shown on-screen a few times, but I wasn’t able to catch it on my first watch.

What was Nolan Sorrento’s password?

    If it wasn't "god" then he wasn't being true to the '80s.

The password is:

B055man69

That is a zero and not a capital O as is evidenced by it having a slash through it.

    In the Spanish dubbing of the movie the password is spelled as "Capital B, zero, five, five..."

    @JohnP: How do you know it wasn't Ø or ∅ ? Carefully when you cross mathematicians, or the Nordic.

    @ThePopMachine Nolan Sorrento had his password written on a sticky note. I suspect he's probably not using Nordic symbols in his passwords.

    It was definitely a 0, further when Wade gives it to Samantha verbally he calls out "Capital B, zero, five, five, man, sixty-nine" (source: myself - saw it twice)

    @ThePopMachine Sorrento needed a pop culture research team on call to hold a conversation. I assumed he had paid staff handle the hacking.
