K so when you go in the shinra tower for the first time, there's this guy that gives you a keycard and an elemental materia if you guess the password on the first try. So a couple times I guessed randomly and got the password right, but most of the time I get it wrong. My question is how do you figure out the password. I even paid that guy to help me but I didn't get what he was saying

Directly from the walkthrough on the main site:

The answer lies in the library. Read all the plaques, then look in the library itself for the book that doesn't fit. Each library has one, and once you figure out what those books are about, you should be able to guess the password. If you get it right the first time, you get an OElemental materia as well as the keycard. (The password changes each time.)

There is, unfortunately, no pattern or trick I know of that lets you guess the password automatically every time, but I wager someone out there has some little set of events one can check off to confirm, yep, it's swordfish.

I'm not sure if my explanation will make sense, but you know the library on that floor? There are four different sections, and each one has a certain 'theme', such as space or Urban development. In each section, there's a book that's out of place. The title of said book will have a number in front of it. Let's say the title of the book is, "Create Your Future" and the number in front of it is 2, then one of the letters of the password would be 'R'.

If my memory serves me correctly, that's what you're supposed to do. ^^;

Oh ok thanks Celes

the walkthrough was kinda vague (no offence) but your explanation is good.

"That guy that you talk to" is the mayor of Midgar, by the way, and the person you pay is his assistant.

There is an interesting puzzle on this floor.  In order to proceed you need to
guess what the password is that the mayor has come up with.  You are free to
keep guessing but there is a reward that comes with guessing on your first
try.  There are clues here and the clues are in the books in each room.
Here's the way it works:  There are four book rooms and there are four letters
to each password so you'll get one letter per room.  Before entering a room
read the panel beside the door and it will tell you what kind of books you
should expect to find in each one.  There are six books per room, but one out
of those six doesn't belong.  Say for example there is a book about the space
program in the urban planning section.  When you find this book you'll need to
find out which letter it corresponds to.  Each books has a number beside the
title, this numbers tells you how many letters to count forward (not including
spaces.)  So if you found that the book "4 Weapons planning" didn't belong
then you would count ahead 4 and 'p' would be the letter for that room.  Get
one letter from each room and speak to the mayor on the West side of the
floor.  The password is going to be some combination of the letters, so if
your letters are AKMO and MAKO is one of the options, there's you answer.
Your prize for getting in on your first try is the Keycard 65 and Elemental
Materia.  Now head up to the next floor.
