  I spent way to long on this puzzle
  
  In the chapter "To Serve and Protect"
  
  Get the Keys from Eddy on the second floor from his office, now that you have the keys go downstairs and open up the reception door. A computer will be in front of you. Interact with it and enter the credentials below.
  
  User: D. Wilson
  Password is: Salem
  
  If downvoted please "Tell me Why" (ba dum chee)
  
  
  
  Edit: Saw3d 0ff reported that he could not get it to pop unless he did it legit, I will leave his solution in quotes below if this is the case for you.
  
  "If you want to know how to figure this puzzle out, you'll want to see the memo about the password change next to the reception computer.
  
  Now, find D. Wilson's desk (near the stairs), where she left the memo on her desk. Go to the locker room (near the break room) and find her locker, try to open it. Head back to her desk, look inside the drawer and take the key. Go to her locker and open it to find the post it note that says her password is the "20th birthday winner". Go back to her desk and inspect her birthday card to notice it's her 29th birthday. The game takes place in 2015. Her 20th birthday was in 2006. Look at the Iditarod poster, find 2006, and find the winner named "Salem". Now enter the reception room and enter the password for D WILSON.

  This achievement didn't pop for me until I did all of the steps to get the answer legitimately, which are not in this solution. I also want to note that I failed the first time I put in the password and then still got the achievement to pop that session after inputting it correctly.
  
  
  From the solution below:

  Added your comment Saw3d 0ff in-case anyone else gets the same problem. Never heard of it, very odd.

  Mine popped without following the steps. Seems to be a hit or miss thing.

  This can be unlocked at the Police Station after gaining the keys from Eddy. Instead of going to the break room, open the door to the reception, and here you can interact with the computer. If you want to skip the solution, choose:
  
  User: D. Wilson
  Password: SALEM

  In "To Serve And Protect", Eddy will give you some keys to go to the break room and make some coffee. Head downstairs and go into the front desk area instead. Access the computer here and change the user to D. Wilson. Type in the password 'SALEM'. Your achievement will pop when you exit the computer.
