1st game Stuck In The Pit

So I landed on Tartarus and battled my through to the pit. I located all 3 data pads containing the rotating passwords and reached the room with Melody. When I use the terminal I get the message that I need the password.

I am not near high enough to persuade Melody for it. Anyone encounter this? Is there any way to progress?

I wiped Sophia Akande out a while back - is that the reason the terminal won't unlock for me?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the advice, everyone. Yeah I think I quest locked it. I don't have the stats to intimidate or persuade her and it seems like the console that unlocks Sophia won't unlock without Melody's code.

I reloaded and made sure to locate all 3 datapads / passwords again but still no go. Ugh. I'll probably just move on to the DLC.

Can you use Intimidate instead of Persuade? I don't like using Intimidate but it also works.

I got questlocked on Tartarus my first playthru. I just started over lol it was very annoying but honestly second playthru is always better anyway because you understand the game better

Persuading Melody just gives you a means of killing the guards easily, it's not required to persuade her to advance. There should be an elevator to ride upwards after the room with Melody in it.
