Introduction
One of the striking characteristics of the third
message is the presence of an asterisk in the line "* A recipe for
a solution".
Analysis
If you spell the word MAROONED starting from the letter A you
get the word AROONEDM, a letter pattern which exactly matches
the word PASSWORD, as shown in the following alignment.
A P
R A
O S
O S
N W
E O
D R
M D
This tells me that the key to the password is somewhere in the message,
because noone else has been able to explain the asterisk.
