In "Resident Evil", what is the password for the Red Queen's Chamber?

The story behind the answer

In “Resident Evil,” the password for the Red Queen’s Chamber is 12177.

The code appears in the 2002 film “Resident Evil,” directed by Paul W. S. Anderson. The chamber lies inside the Hive, an underground Umbrella Corporation facility beneath Raccoon City. Alice and the commando team use the code while trying to reach the Red Queen, the artificial-intelligence system controlling the complex.

The Red Queen is not a character from the original 1996 video game in this exact form; she was created for the film’s story. Her security system has sealed the Hive after a T-virus outbreak, killing nearly everyone inside and trapping the surviving team behind automated defenses.

A common mix-up is confusing 12177 with another code shown in the film, 04031965, which opens a different door. The five-digit password is also sometimes described as a passcode or access code rather than a conventional password, but 12177 is the canonical answer for the chamber.
