Is there a secret to hacking computers in Fallout 3 for PS3?

I can get the first four or five, for in the Little Lamplight terminal, then I can’t get the fifth/sixth. I usually look for something with more than one symbol. for example (:-:>) or something
There’s no secret to hacking the computers. You choose one of the several words that are available and then the terminal will tell you how many letters are in the correct position of your guessed word as compared to the ~actual~ password. For example: pretend the actual password is "STOP". If you guess "SLOP", you will have 3 letters correct (‘s’, ‘o’, & ‘p’); however, if you guess "POTS", you will have 0 letters correct (as none are in the correct ~position~). Don’t pick any of the punctuation marks — those are never correct.
The important thing to bear in mind is you get only 4 guesses before you’re locked out of the terminal (unless you have the Computer Whiz perk). So, if you made 3 incorrect guesses, it is likely best to exit the terminal, then re-attempt to log back in (this will reset your four chances).

There actually is an instance where the punctuation marks are helpful. Usually the punctuation marks are highlighted individually, but there is always one group of punctuation marks. If you choose that group it will randomly either remove one wrong answer or it will reset your tries.
