Great question --- I've encountered a few people hitting that and the answer is "sort of".
Your browser "chomps" spaces, so you're unable to see that the output of 'access granted' may actually have trailing spaces (or multiple spaces elsewhere for that matter) that are causing the answer validation to fail. The right answer should end in 'ant0000ed|' or similar.
What I've told people so far is that if you feel like you solved it thematically, it counts as a win and you can skip ahead knowing the problem was with that dang dev. It's one of those issues that'll rip your heart out for not finding it during playtesting because at 3AM you're SURE you tested everything a person might answer :)
Hope it didn't detract too much from the puzzles and thanks for taking the time to try it out.
