Colony is a commercial game.  The security code on the airlock is part of an
(annoying) decoder-type copy protection system.  Since you seem to have an
(unintentionally?) pirated copy, I would suggest that if you want to play the
game you should purchase a copy.  It is available from most of the mail order
places.  Then you'll get a decoder, and you can leave the ship.

Once you start playing the game, and looking around the colony, you will
figure out exactly what you are supposed to do with the reactor access code...

Colony is one of the neatest games I have played on the Mac.  By paying for it
you will give Mindscape further inscentive to write more neat Mac games.
