Tuesday: Resurrection

Hello again, puzzlers. After you got us into Calvin's old office yesterday, we began looking around for anything suspicious, only to find our beloved Calvin browsing through the books on his bookshelf. Sensing our shock, he quickly told us that he was not, in fact, our Professor Reynolds, but instead his twin brother Andy! The pair really look identical, but honestly Andy could use some sun.

Evidently, the two were good friends during their youth, but had not been in contact for a long time. After spending some time with Andy, we discovered the reason for his presence in the office: before his destruction last year, PuzzleBot sent a message to Andy stating that he had made a backup copy of himself. Now Andy is trying to put the pieces of his brother's life back together, and he believes that Calvin's computer might hold many of the answers for which he is looking.

Unfortunately, we have been unsuccessful in our attempts to login to Calvin's account. We know that his username is 'creynolds', but have been unable to figure out his password. Lucky for us, Calvin liked to leave clues to solve even his most important secrets, so we believe that the items in his office can lead us to the password. You can find Calvin's login screen and pictures of the items in his office here.
