Password: stratemeyer576
How the password was found: Stratemeyer is the founder of the Nancy Drew series. 576 is from the syllables of the incorrect haiku on Tachyon's note.
There's a folder called: igel tsetop non tse mucearG
Backwards: Graecum est non potest legi
Latin for: It is Greek; it cannot be read
Inside the folder are three files:
4c4947415455524553
Hex for: LIGATURES
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligature_%28typography%29
add .jpg and open it to get:
Top left: Omicron and Tau combined
Top right: Lambda or Phoenician Gimel [as pointed out by Tigerlilylynn] next to Sigma
Bottom Left: Theta on top of Mu [Watcher Symbol]
Bottom right: Theta on top of Pi
414d414c47414d4154494f4e
Hex for: AMALGAMATION
Dictionary.com definitions for amalgamate:
1. to mix or merge so as to make a combination; blend; unite; combine: to amalgamate two companies.
2. Metallurgy. to mix or alloy (a metal) with mercury.
add .jpg and open it to get:
Top Left: Theta
Bottom Left: Though the watcher symbol on the right would imply that it should be Mu, the flat top makes it appear more like Epsilon spun 90 degress [as pointed out by klgglk]
Bottom Left: Theta on top of Mu [Watcher Symbol]
53454d414e54494b4f53
Hex for: SEMANTIKOS
Note: Semantikos is semantics, not semiotics.
add .txt and open it to get:

| Quote: | The Theta is similar to an Egyptian symbol that represents the Sun, and the Mu was derived from the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for water. So the Sun equals Ra...and the water equals Naunet? Or maybe Poseidon? When combined this "watcher" symbol establishes that the Order rules and watches over all that exists in between.
Theta is the 8th letter, Mu is the 12th. So that's one more 12, but the 8 = ?.
Theta was also used as an abbreviation for "Thanatos," and considered a warning of death. |

Graecum
est
non
potest
legi
is the name of the folder reversed (the capital at the end suggests it should be reversed)
is this another language? an anagram? |

It's Greek. It cannot be read.
That's what the quote means in Latin. |

It wasn't meant for Daniel, it was meant for Bree. Daniel intercepted the package and has been keeping it secret. |

Not exactly. He made a video about it and posted it. Considering that Bree's posted a video of her own since then, it's safe to say she knows.

Symbol for the sun, huh? I'm sure trainer's going to be pleased about this. |
