The context of episode 3
In episode 3, protagonists Cooper and Anders find themselves in a refectory that's completely upended and in disarray. This mystery-laden location houses a locker that cannot be opened without a code. The first step is to carefully observe your surroundings, as the code isn't given directly.
The refectory is a large space, but a very chaotic one. Before you can access this locker, you must first retrieve an energy cell. Luckily, this cell is located on a shelf, opposite the main entrance door.

Once you've retrieved the energy cell, head to the door panel. Insert the energy cell into it, which will unlock the mechanism. Start the mini-game to open the door, and pay close attention to the visual and audio cues.
Accessing the main room
After successfully completing the mini-game, you'll be able to enter the main room. Once inside, look at the wall to the right of the entrance, where you'll find a valuable clue. You'll discover a sticky note bearing the locker code, which is "0402".

Going back to open the locker
After gathering the code, return to the keypad located near the window. Enter the code "0402" with the utmost care to unlock the locker. Once the locker is open, you'll obtain a special item of the highest importance: a Nutrimito poster. This item is among the collectibles hidden in Directive 8020.
