Not sure how much of a spoiler you want, but here's the situation as best I can do so without spoiling it for you. If you want spoiling, let me know and I'll do that.

Personally I would never pay for the dossiers at that point. If you are going to pay for them, I personally think you should start the book over and buy them as they come up. And this is exactly what I did. I keep getting distracted by other things, but the very next diamond option in my second playthrough is the last (diamond costing) dossiers. The reason why I would never pay for them there is because if you do, sure you will get them, but they will still cost if you want to get them earlier in the book, which means if you ever want to get full bonus scenes earlier in the book, you'll have to buy them.

That said, I understand if you don't want to start the book over just to get into Rourke's computer. I've always planned to replay any books I enjoy and that series is the top of my list, so I plan to replay it a lot, which means investing diamonds in it makes a lot of sense to me.

So the bad news is, although technically is very possible to get the password (it's on this page if nothing else), if you use it without having all the dossiers, you die and the choice resets, so if you don't plan to ever play the book, again, and just want into the computer for the next book, buying those dossiers now is the way to do it. I just don't recommend it if you do plan to replay for reasons mentioned above.

If you get into the computer, you will find a program on the computer that you have to activate at that point. The program leads to something happening which yes will have an affect on the next book for a few chapters anyway. It will give you some extra interactions for your characters and chances to gain and loose a few more points with various characters for three or four chapters. I don't think it affects anything past that point.

No, ultimately nothing bad happens if you don't get the password and start book 2 anyway. It just changes a few events and gives you a slightly smaller selection of options (I think we are talking mid single digits).

If you want to know more than that, let me know and I'll go ahead and tell you the spoiler.
