Can you solve the scheme and find the password?



Answer



If we




take each block of 59 ./# as a single line



then we get



..######...#######..##......##.########...#######..##....## .##....##.##.....##.##..##..##.##.....##.##.....##..##..##. .##.......##.....##.##..##..##.##.....##.##.....##...####.. .##.......##.....##.##..##..##.########..##.....##....##... .##.......##.....##.##..##..##.##.....##.##.....##....##... .##....##.##.....##.##..##..##.##.....##.##.....##....##... ..######...#######...###..###..########...#######.....##...



so it would seem the password is



COWBOY.
