Stego 13

Ghost in a shell the laughing man series.
Its the best next to the independant 11 series. You may want to read or watch it.

You don't need to watch it, just look at the file in different ways, there's something in there that has to do with the laughing man that is the key to getting the pass.

I was thinking what it could be that he did that he did got to do with stego.

Is the password here any sort of english word?

What i mean is, it's pretty obvious what needs to be done to the file, and i'm a manga fan, so i got what the clue was about, even thought it gives you nothing to go on for actually completing the challenge, but even after i *do that thing with those parts of the file*, the text in the image is still unreadable, i've tried color-balancing, noise-reduction and all sorts, but its virtually impossible to make that word out.

Originally i thought it may be guessable by reading the wiki, but that yields no results either.
Any suggestions?

Yet another edit:
Oh well, i really should try harder before i post

Lesson learnt i guess

Turns out i was this -->| |<-- close, a little tip for anyone else, once you figure out what needs to be done, and what with, think a little bigger, like 2x bigger

The clues that are provided for this mission are just to throw you off. The provided Wikipedia link will NOT help you complete the mission. This mission requires some logic, so it barely takes any real skill.

Protip: Think of it as a Rubik's cube. A hex/text editor helps.

use hex editor open the file
[Edited by Defience] and find the meaning

Used a hexeditor and removed all those messages and still cannot see the password, also I tried different things like replace those msgs with a bunch of zeros pero no pasa ni madres, so I wonder if anyone have a hint(a decent one) on how we are supposed to work with this file, tnx.
