So close, but yet so far away.. aww..."old thought of mine"

The Letters with the lightest background without any shade is R and A
so i tried checking up which letters with the darkest bakground was missing some shading and found out that there was a O and a S that did..
I put together the letters and got Raos which i later on realized is Soar backwards.. but that wasn't the password so no luck there
