Locked Panel Doors in the Well

1. The Well is one of the districts in New Atlantis that you first visit early in the game. You can move there using the elevator in the city's starting district (the one with the landing pad).
2. While exploring the Well, you can find locked Panel Doors - behind them there are junction boxes. When you interact with a Panel Door, the game will show the message saying that This is Opened with a Computer.

How to open Panel Doors and unlock junction boxes?

1. You can't use Lockpicking skill to open Panel Doors. You also can't open them by force.
2. You will be able to open the Panel Doors in the Well after starting the Tapping the Grid side quest. Find the NPC named Louisa Reyez in the Well. Talk to her and agree to help the woman.

1. Set the side mission as active and you'll be guided to the next junction boxes.
2. The Panel Doors that you will be reaching one by one should be open. This will allow you to disable them and advance in the side quest.

Other locked Panel Doors requiring a computer

A similar message about using a computer can also appear in other locations - not just when interacting with Panel Doors, but also, for example, with locked doors. This has 2 possible solutions:

1. Starting another side mission - doing it should open passage to the location related to it.
2. Look for an interactive switch - using it can open the passage.
