The riddles on the trees are refering to the English alphabet and
requite figuring out some messy mathmatics involving which position they
are in the standard alphabet. Due to this riddle, there has been alot
of discussion as to if 'Z' is at the end or 1 from the end. Point

Yes.

Oh, so you actually want to know the password! :-)

The riddles are hints to letters of the Roman alphabet. The password
is made up of five such letters. Clear enough now?

If you're still stuck...

Is the password for Alamos supposed to make any sense? I went to all the trees,
solved the riddle, but assumed I made a mistake because the word made no sense.
I bet that most people who post the password question on this NG actually solved
it correctly but, like myself, assumed that their result was incorrect.
