again thank you

kind regards
Basically は comes right after the topic of the sentence in Japanese. It's sort of equivalent to saying "As for ___" in English. Neither Dutch nor English has a comparable thing in the language.

So パスワードは五 is a sentence fragment that fairly literally translates to "As for the password, five" but really means "The password is 'five.'"
