* In the ''[[Firefly]]'' fanfic ''[[
Line 33:
** To be fair, the password has some other characters in it so it's more like '777.77-7777-7_7777'. (Assuming that those characters aren't part of a shown pattern to aid in typing in the code.)
*** Earlier in the movie, the same baddie escapes confinement by voicing the passcode to the cuffs that were restraining him (which was probably part of {{spoiler|the programming he received while in cryostasis}}).
* In ''[[Star Trek II:
** And the {{spoiler|"Make Ship Asplode"}} command from ''Star Trek III: The Search For Spock''.
* In ''[[War Games]]'' (1983), the creator of the military super computer W.O.P.R. implements a back door password: Joshua, the name of his son.
* In ''Madagascar'', Private finds the override code for the ship in the first one.
* In ''[[South Park]]: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut'', Kyle gets into a restricted website by rerouting the encryptions. And he does this just by pressing a bunch of random buttons on the keyboard.
* In ''[[Cloudy
* Justified example: In ''[[Jurassic Park]]'', the giant gates have a manual override lever so that they can be opened in the event of a power failure. There is also of course Nedry's software backdoor. This is justified too, since he wrote the software in the first place.

* ''[[Star Trek]]'', of course, has several examples, from voice commands to manual overrides. Not only do they have override commands (in most cases as simple as saying the word "Override"), but they have Auxiliary Control, which appears to be able to take over control from the Bridge without it being given voluntarily!
** The example from ''Wrath of Khan'' shows up again in ''[[Star Trek:
** In ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'', Seven of Nine could control the entire ship on a whim. For example, one episode has her trying to access the Captain's personal logs. When denied, she walks over to a wall panel, flips a couple chips inside, and instantly gains access. In the same episode, she teaches ''a child'' to override commands from the bridge.
* ''[[
* [[Doctor Who|The Doctor]] once hacked UNIT's computer systems, so that they would accept "BUFFALO" as the correct response for all their passwords.
* In one episode of [[Stargate Atlantis]] Doctor Keller and Ronon are attempting to reclaim the Daedalus from the Wraith. Keller lists all the different systems they need to override and asks Ronon if he knows how to do all that. He proceeds to start shooting at the control crystals randomly.

Line 63:
* ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'' has Selphie override several computers -- one a "manual override" (in a [[Button Mashing]] minigame) and one a legit override in order to prevent a missile launch. (The password is EDEA, the name of the Sorceress dictator who's running the base.)
* ''[[Fallout 3]]'' has some sentient terminals and robots that can be affected by your Science skill (or failing that, Robotics Expert perk). One particular instance is the M.A.R.Go.T terminal, which can be overridden thusly.
** [[Fallout: New Vegas]] also has this a few times. Also, hacking computers in general is this trope turned into a minigame in both this game and Fallout 3.
* ''[[
** Played with in the {{spoiler|core transfer procedure and the Stalemate Resolution Button. It overrides the current core and replaces it with another, ''as long as both cores agree.'' If not, a trained Stalemate Resolution Associate must push the aforementioned button.}}
* ''[[System Shock]]'' uses the overrides at least twice. Considering that the software is dominated by [[AI Is a Crapshoot|SHODAN]], [[
Line 79:
** Also in ''Sluggy'', Oasis apparently has "Override B-1" whenever she encounters Hereti-Corp personnel. From all appearances, activating it makes her more focused and less compassionate -- this being someone already [[Ax Crazy]].
*** When someone blurts out in the middle of a firefight that {{spoiler|Riff works for Hereti-Corp, he says "I quit" and Oasis goes back to fawning over Torg. Cue every Hereti-Corp agent in the room announcing their resignation and leaving.}}
* Being an artificial life form, Florence of ''[[
** The robots have a verbal override command as well, which Florence used to prevent Blunt from attacking her in his effort to try to stop her from interfering with {{spoiler|the release of Gardner in the Dark, which would effectively lobotomize all robots on Jean}}.
Line 85:
== Western Animation ==
* In ''[[Code Lyoko]]'', Aelita can shut down any Tower by use of her handprint and inputting [[Title Drop|Code: LYOKO]]. Other codes exist, such as Code: EARTH, which materializes Aelita, and Code: XANA, which is essentially an override that deletes the entire Sector.
* An episode of ''[[
{{quote| '''George Takei:''' Does your ship have a self-destruct code? Like: 1A, 2B, 3C,--''(Bender's head blows up)''<br />
'''Bender:''' Thanks a lot, Takei, now everyone knows. }}
* {{spoiler|Dinobot's}} [[Heroic Sacrifice]] in ''[[
** Although it violated the rules in order for drama since that was the only instance it announced it was going to work giving time to override it. All other times including with the character in question at earlier episodes they just immediately went into stasis lock, whether they wanted to continue to fight to the death or not.
