Modern Warfare 2 Safe Codes / Locations – Alone
Alone – First Safe

Unlike El Sin Nombre, the Alone mission features two safes. They are both accessible as Soap attempts to reach Ghost’s location. The first can be found in a coffee shop, again hidden behind a door that must be opened to access the safe.
The code for this safe is hidden on a calendar in the room nearby.
