ya, if I'm right, it's easy to crack... I didn't get the instruction you have given in the question. Should I write the solution here?

The list of numbers into five rows:
coz see the pattern (single digit) (single digit) (single digit) (double digits) (double digits) <-- this repeats for five times
2 3 4 15 12
3 4 5 28 20
4 5 6 45 30
5 6 7 66 42
6 7 8 ?? 56

The column 15 28 45 66 is
15= Second digit x (First digit + second digit)
28=4 x 7
45=5 x 9
66=6 x 11
so next will be
91=7 x 13

The final column:
12=Second digit x third digit ( 3 x 4)
20=4 x 5
30=5 x 6
42=6 x 7
56=7 x 8

Password is : 91 😁

Hehe, OK it seems that Biggie wants solution.

So, let us consider the set of '5' the first three numbers are 2,3,4 the 3,4,5 then 4,5,6 etc in each set. The fourth number in each set is addition of previous two multiplied by the second number i.e.; (2+3)*3=15

So I will modify my answer 91
