I need help in both translating and understanding the following, which is a clue to what may be a 4-digit number... OR it may be four separate words... Unfortunately it's in russian... :(

Original Russian Text:

Пароль: ТыщАтри_Статр_иДцатьс_еМь
Внимание! Пароль вводится цифрами (4 штуки).

Which Translates via two different web-translators to:

Password: TyShchatri_Statr_iDtsat's_eM'
Attention! Password is introduced by numbers (4 pieces).

This is I think, a cryptic clue... If anybody can solve this or provide any further insight, I'd love to hear from them!

Whilst admittedly, this question is only rather tenuously related to computer and Tech Chat in that it allows access to a web-site, I've posted it here in the belief that this section is where the 'brains' congregate... I'm hoping that I'm proved correct! :)

Ladies and Gentlemen...

I stated that I posted the question here in Comp & Tech Chat in the belief that this section is where the 'brains' congregate... ;)

My faith was not misplaced... The folks of S.F. triumph yet again! :)

My sincere thanks go to Adaline, whose knowledge solved the first part and to 42fta, whose inspired guess solved the last part of the puzzle.

My friends, I'm indebted to you... Your efforts are very much appreciated!!!
