"The password is one-hundred and twenty five in numbers"

パスは the password
ひゃく 100
にじゅう 20
ご 5
を数字で in numbers

Are you familiar with numberｓ in Japanese? Anyway, it is a bいt tricky as they are trying to tell you the password without actually telling you, for whatever reason. I don't know why they don't just put "125" instead of ひゃくにじゅうご

Hello,

I know that 一百二十五 is 125, but i don't know that it's written in a mixture of hiragana & katakana. I think it's done so that only Japanese speakers can download the file (in order to reduce the traffic to this website).

Aligato.

From experience that's likely to be 125 ('direct input' or half-size ascii) not １２５ (full size ascii). They aren't expecting 百二十五 as the entry.
