How do i get past this part?

bleh, I missed out on elemental materia for almost the entire game because I did it right once, then reset on a higher level because I screwed up those items, then missed the password, and didn't reset again.

I started to regret it for a while, but added effect mollified me a bit:)

That game in Shinra is fun! Don't reset. Play it. It's fun reading the titles. One of the best methods of putting general backstory in FFVII is when you read the titles in the 4 libraries and solve the puzzle. All you gotta do is figure out which one in each of the 4 libraries are in the wrong section, then count the # of letters up to the # it says at the beginning. Unscramble and solve. Fun.

Also, the Mayor says something different depending on what's the right answer. For example, if the answer is best, I think he calls himself the best, and each one yields a different comment.
