Hey people, need some help here. I am in the casino in New Vegas Ultimate edition ("downing the beast" chapter of adventure "Dead Money") and I need to unlock the electrical closet to turn the power back on. I have taken care of all the security holograms, radio noise etc; but the only option I have found is to Hack a computer...Big Problem, this requires a minimum of a 75 science skill. Even with my books to bolster my science stat I would only have a 60. Question: How can I unlock the electrical closet without a 75 science skill? (I have already done everything I think I can to get experience points). I can't seem to unlock several other doors either. Can I even use a cheat if needed just to get my character up one level for me to jack up my science skill? Please help!

Some easy or very easy hackabke terminal (or one that doesn't need to be hacked?) terminal has "unlock electrical closet door" option. I think it appears only after selecting some other option? Anyway, you don't need to hack a hard terminal to proceed in that quest. I also think it was one of those wall-mounted ones, but i'm not sure of it.
