The aim of this mission is to click the button, but the program prevents you from doing so by normal means.
So ask yourself, in any other program, how would you execute the function of a button without clicking it?
If you can answer that, look up how to achieve that, and yeah, xvi32. ;)

PS: You shouldn't need to know how to read assembly or anything for this particular challenge.

I'm not sure if I did this right but I got it to give me the password as soon as I put the pointer over one of the buttons, have I missed something in this lesson or is this a valid way to do it?

The app is designed so that the program switches the enabled property of the buttons, thus stopping you from ever pressing the button normally. If you were able to simply go and press it, then there is a glitch somewhere or a miscompatibility. It is coded in VB, so would you mind telling us your computer specs so that we can figure out why it didn't work?
