Cyril passes away and two of his sons, John and Derek, are present at reading his will by his lawyer. Cyril specified that if John guesses the password for his custom-made digital safe right, he would get the check inside it, otherwise his brother would get it. And the only things he can input are up to nine letters, and the minimum is three letters. John also has one day at his disposal to figure it out, and also only one shot at it, so if he enters the wrong password, it's goodbye beautiful money. Speaking of money, the $5.000.000 check represents most of Cyril's wealth, and so John is very interested in it, as well as Derek. Cyril also left the clue in his will regarding the safe combination, that is, the golden cube he liked so much. He said that the cube has nothing to do with the password directly, but it represents the clue nevertheless. John thought about it for a few hours, and entered the right combination, and was $5.000.000 richer. What was the safe combination?

Do we each only get one shot at it, or can we guess as much as we want?

No to both.
Sorry gotit, you were brave, but you missed three times. Still, perhaps the correct thing for you is to continue guessing, but only by sending me private messages. And if you get it right, I will mention it in this topic, w/o mentioning the answer. Whatever.

Come on Icey, some more hints ? 
Is there anything special about the cube that makes it different than any other cubes ? ( apart from the fact that it's gold )
Would the clue be possible if the cube was not made of gold ?
The cube is made of solid gold, itself worth more than $5,000,000.00
The cube is All Spark, and he had one of the Autobots decipher it for him.

No. Any cube is as good as any, if it is hollow, for the answer is not directly involved.

Are there any non-alphabet characters in the code? E.g. a hyphen.
I cant remember if this was asked, if it has been sorry.

It would seem the cube is a metaphor for something else that is directly related to the password. Is that correct icey?
Is the shape of the cube more important than the color?
A safe is normally in a cube shape. Is there a relation between the cube and the safe itself in regards to the password?
