How to Cut the Power to IT Room for Rock the Cradle Mission

Start by making your way to the VIP Club door. This can be found at the end of the bar area that you are in at the start. This door will be heavily guarded by two bouncers, and it will need to be opened with a Blue Keycard.

The Blue keycard will be on the back pocket of the bouncer to the right. There are a bunch of ways you can go about this. However, a fast way to do this is by hacking the left guard’s radio using Ghost Protocol which will distract him.

After that, move your way behind to the other guard and swipe the Blue Keycard off of him. Use this Keycard to open the VIP club area and you are in. Make sure you avoid the cameras as they will still be alert to you. However, civilians in the area will act normal.

When you’re down the stairs, look towards the right and you’ll see a room with the Electrical Facility sign next to it. You can access this room with the Blue Keycard. Open the door but don’t enter yet. There is still some information you need before you return to it.

Next, you want to locate the IT room and enter inside. There are three possible locations where the IT room can be. You’ll need to follow some steps to get into each of these rooms, which includes going to the Accounting Office.

Check out this guide, which shows you how you can locate and enter the IT room for the Rock the Cradle Mission. After that, the steps to follow are the same, regardless of which IT room you went to.

Once you’re inside the IT room, look for a whiteboard that has something written with a marker. It will say ‘Switch:’, followed by a code and a color.

For example, in our case, it says C250 and Green. Make a note of these details. You can even enter them into your chat, and you can access chat when you need it.

These details will be different for you and they will also change whenever you replay the heists.

Now, make your way back to the Electrical Facility room that you unlocked with the Blue Keycard. This is a Secure Area, so make sure to close the door behind you. You’ll see a bunch of panels in front on the wall, each with colored switches inside.

Look for the panel that has the code you saw on the whiteboard. Refer to the code you typed in chat and you’ll be able to locate it and open it. In our case, this is C250. Next, look for the color of the switch which in our case is Green. Flip the switch and this will cut the power to the IT Room.

That’s how you cut the power to the IT Room in the Rock The Cradle Mission. After that, you can continue with the heist, which will have you going back into the Accounting Office to reset the biometric scanner. There is still a lot of work ahead so stay alert and you’ll have the loot within no time!
