Bytes32 and Data Payload question

Question

Hello Solidity Expert,

I am working on Ethernaut challenge 8 called Vault: Ethernaut See the contract code at the end of this post.

I feel I solved the challenge but for some reason I cannot open the vault.

Here are the steps I have taken.

1. I found the contract on Rinkeby and extracted the Bytes32 component from the constructor. Contract 0x5F694fcf2767ff28c0907eEAF6b705E8456a3665

2. I entered the Bytes32 component into the parameter of the unlock function but the vault does not unlock?

I am not certain what I did wrong here. In my mind the Vault should open. Any hints or insights are welcome.

Thank you.

pragma solidity ^0.6.0;

contract Vault {
  bool public locked;
  bytes32 private password;

  constructor(bytes32 _password) public {
    locked = true;
    password = _password;
  }

  function unlock(bytes32 _password) public {
    if (password == _password) {
      locked = false;
    }
  }
}

The issue is that the transaction highlighted is to a 'factory' contract that deploys the vault. It isn't a direct call to the constructor.

To determine the constructor parameter you can to examine the internal transaction that creates the contract.

At CREATE's input end the same parameter you found appears
