It's pretty easy to program in Bespoke with only one half of the keyboard. It's much harder to write anything that sounds coherent. For whatever reason, the left half of the keyboard facilitates a lot of keywords about war.
Python 2, 75889 bytes
No extra character!
Unfortunately, the code is super long. So instead, here's the code to generate the program:
x=[2**n for n in xrange(16)]
y=-5
print('exec"""exec'+x[7]*'%'+'c""'+x[6]*'%'+'cr'+x[-2]*'%'+'c'+x[-1]*'%'+'ct'+x[8]*'%'+'c'+x[-4]*'%'+'cASSW'+x[-5]*'%'+'cRD'+x[-3]*'%'+'c'+x[0]*'%'+'s1'+x[10]*'%'+'c '+x[9]*'%'+'c""'+x[y]*'%'+x[1]*'%'+'s'+x[y]*'%'+x[2]*'%'+'s'+x[y]*'%'+x[3]*'%'+'s'+x[y]*'%'+x[4]*'%'+'s'+x[y]*'%'+x[5]*'%'+'s"""'+'%`1>>1`%`2531>>5`%`321>>2`%`1521>>4`%`211>>1`%`221>>1`%112%34%34%34%34')
(to run the code, change the outer print into an exec. Or, generate the program, then paste and run.)
Explanation:
The goal is to execute:
print"PASSWORD_01"
To avoid using ()+ chars, we have to use multiple string format operations chained together. This means that each step added effectively doubles the number of % characters needed for each previous step:
print"%cASSW%%cRD%%%%c%%%%%%%%c1"%80%79%95%48
This is not enough though, because some of the numbers required cannot be created, and neither can we create print. So we add a level of abstraction with exec for printing, and a level for the ASCII code points we cannot create to format with. The following is essentially my answer, but with each string of % reduced to a single one (note that the %s%s%s%s%s is not an accurate representation, failing to account for the literal %'s required before each):
exec"""exec%c""%cr%c%ct%c%cASSW%cRD%c%s1%c %c""%s%s%s%s%s""" % `1>>1`%`2531>>5`%`321>>2`%`1521>>4`%`211>>1`%`221>>1`%112%34%34%34%34
The First Step: Outermost exec:
exec""" ... ASSW%cRD ... %s%s%s%s%s""" % `1>>1` % `2531>>5` % `321>>2` % `1521>>4` % `211>>1` % `221>>1`
1>>1:0, used for the0inPASSWORD_012531>>5:79, used for inner exec to createO321>>2:80, used for inner exec to createP1521>>4:95, used for inner exec to create_211>>1:105, used for inner exec to createi221>>1:110, used for inner exec to createn
Second Step: Prepare Inner exec
After the above, the inner exec is something like this:
exec%c""%cr%c%ct%c%cASSWORD%c01%c %c""%79%80%95%105%110
Except that you wouldn't quite get that. Still wtih the simplifications, you'd get this:
exec%c""%cr%c%ct%c%cASSWORD%c01%c %c""798095105110
The literal %'s need to be included. So basically I had to add a bunch of them before each %s to end up with literal %'s left after all the formatting. 2**11 of them. Times five.
The rest of the outer exec string format operations are %112%34%34%34%34. The 112 is for p, and the others are quotation marks. After applying those, the result is something like this:
exec"""pr%c%ct"%cASSW%cRD%c01" """%79%80%95%105%110
But in reality it has a bunch more %. It's this:
exec"""pr%%%%%%%%c%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%ct"%%cASSW%cRD%%%%c01" """%79%80%95%105%110
The final step is to simply run that, after which you get the necessary output.

This was really challenging as there were no ways of manipulating cells other than the modulo operation and setting them to some multiples of 16. Fortunately the letters W and Z were present letting me wait for a certain duration and set the current cell to seconds elapsed. I had to also include . as it's the only way of printing characters in easyfuck. All in all, one of the most fun challenges I partook in. I sure hope my buddy can distract them for ~96 more seconds...
Pyth, 39 + 10 (+) = 49 bytes
r1++++++C+55 25"ASSW"e<G15"RD"C+54 41Z1
This could probably be golfed a bit more but I give up. :) The code adds a series of strings to the stack, appends them all, and then translates the whole thing to uppercase. That leaves one string on the stack which is printed automatically when the code exits.
The Pyth specific tricks used here are related to getting the characters not available on the limited keyboard. The P and _ characters are generated by computing the codepoint of the character and using the Pyth C function. And the o character is extracted from the G variable, which is pre-defined to hold the alphabet. The r1 translation is needed just for that, since the alphabet constant is lowercase. That turns out to be the same number of characters as the codepoint method, so left both in the code.
I had to add the + character so the code gets a +10 penalty.
+55 25 - push 75 on the stack
C - convert codepoint to "P"
"ASSW" - push "ASSW" to the stack
+ - append top two stack entries
G - push "abc...xyz" to the stack
< 15 - take 15 char substring
e - take last char on string "o"
+ - append top two stack entries
"RD" - push "RD" into the stack
+ - append top two stack entries
+54 45 - push 95 on the stack
C - convert codepoint to "_"
+ - append top two stack entries
Z - push 0 onto the stack
+ - append top two stack entries
1 - push 1 onto the stack
+ - append top two stack entries
r1 - convert to uppercase
Julia 1.5, 38 +10 (ENTER) = 48 "bytes"
The keystrokes not available are, of course, PO_0. For Julia, the others are all simple, and simply outputting the string "PASSWORD_01" should count by the rules. Also required: ENTER, as the alternate way to process that in Julia's REPL is Ctrl-J, and J isn't available.
Fortunately, one of the inbuilt commands that you can use TAB to autocomplete is DEPOT_PATH, which provides access to three of the characters. And shortcuts can handle deleting the undesired letters and positioning the cursor to add the missing ones. To get the 0, the easiest method I've found is to use autocomplete to get frexp, and then exp10.
Inputs
Type: frTABCtrl-ACtrl-DCtrl-DCtrl-E1TAB
Result: exp10
Type: Ctrl-ADETAB
Result: DEPOT_PATHexp10
Type: Ctrl-A"Ctrl-DCtrl-DCtrl-FASSWCtrl-FCtrl-DRDCtrl-FCtrl-DCtrl-DCtrl-DCtrl-DCtrl-DCtrl-DCtrl-DCtrl-FCtrl-T"ENTER
Result: "PASSWORD_01" as output (rather than command) on hitting enter.
Explanation
Autocomplete with TAB will work as long as there is only one known autocomplete option (otherwise, double-tab will bring up a list of possible completions).
Ctrl-A moves the cursor to the start of the line, Ctrl-D deletes the next character, Ctrl-F advances the cursor forward one space, and Ctrl-T switches the positions of the characters before and after the cursor (and moves the cursor forward one place).

E++A+55 24+A34+A+55 25+"ASSW"+A+55 24+"RD"+A+54 41+A+45 3 1A34
As noted on Encode your program with the fewest distinct characters possible, Knight needs a minimum of AE +1 to be fully usable (even if it is more torturous than Brainfuck). The + is required to do ASCII arithmetic.
This program generates the string O"PASSWORD_01" by assembling codepoints, and EVALs it with E.

Even without +, we can still do this. SUBSTITUTE can allow us to insert strings into other strings, and we can still generate single chars with A%x y. But I think + is worth it, no?

Emacs (running in a terminal), 26 bytes (possibly 24 bytes)
The program itself (the commas delimit the boundaries between bytes in the on-the-wire format that Emacs uses to accept its input):
W, S, Ctrl-3, $, D, A, Ctrl-T, S, R, W, D, Ctrl-3, $, 5, Ctrl-Q, 5, f, Ctrl-X, r, Ctrl-Space, 1, Ctrl-X, r, g, 1, Ctrl-T
Encoding of this as raw bytes, to prove byte count:
00000000: 5753 1b24 4441 1453 5257 441b 2435 1135 WS.$DA.SRWD.$5.5
00000010: 6618 7200 3118 7267 3114 f.r.1.rg1.
(Note: some of the details may vary based on how Emacs is configured; this answer requires quoted-char-radix to be set to 16, and for Emacs to use the spellcheck dictionary that's default on my British English system. Both of these seem like reasonable configuration settings, but it's possible that your copy of Emacs may be configured differently. A different dictionary would likely still give a 26-byte program, but slightly different misspellings might need to be used so that the corrections we wanted can be accepted by non-bullet-ridden keys.)
Note about scoring
In addition to the keys specified in the question, I originally thought this answer required either Esc or Alt to work. (Esc is on the half of the keyboard that's still intact, so it morally feels like it should be allowed, but it isn't explicitly permitted.) However, user2845840's answer points out that (with the usual encoding of terminal control codes) Esc can alternatively be typed as Ctrl-3, and that is explicitly permitted by the question. (An aside: while testing this, I learned some other interesting ways to type control codes, with Ctrl-2 typing NUL, and Ctrl-4…7 typing character codes 28…31 respectively. Note that the default configuration of many terminals is to interpret a character code 28 coming from user input as a request to crash the currently running program, so be careful testing this.)
Alt is also on the intact half of the keyboard but isn't mentioned in the question. Although Alt and Esc have different encodings in some terminals, they are encoded the same way in other terminals, and (presumably to work around these compatibility issues) Emacs interprets the two keys (and their encodings) as entirely equivalent to each other. If we could use Alt, though, it would save two bytes (because it has a shorter encoding than Esc does).
Explanation
I'm not sure whether it should have any influence on the editor wars, but Emacs seems to beat vim at least in the case of this question. Emacs is pretty suited to editor golf measured in bytes, because it relies heavily on chords which take up multiple keypresses but only a single byte (thus an Emacs program is often slower to type than the equivalent Vim program, but shorter on disk). Additionally, most of the most important Emacs commands are in the bottom-left corner of the keyboard, to be close to Ctrl, very helpful with a question like this one.
"You can assume you have the interpreter shell / source editor opened before the bullets came in. Sadly you have not written anything in it before the keyboard was hit.", so I'm assuming that we have an empty file open in Emacs and need to type the password into it. (We'd need to save the file afterwards, and probably exit Emacs, but the bytes for that aren't being counted in other people's answers so I'm not counting them here either. It's totally doable using the left hand side of the keyboard, though, Ctrl-X, Ctrl-S, Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C.)
Taking it a command (or block of similar commands) at a time:
- W, S: Enter
WSinto the document. - Ctrl-3, $: Invoke the spellchecker.
WSisn't a real word, but it finds lots of similar two-letter words. (The usual way to invoke the spellchecker is Alt-$; here, we're using Ctrl-3 as a stand-in for Esc, which in turn is a stand-in for Alt.) - D: Using the spellchecker, correct
WStoPS. (When the spellchecker is invoked using Alt-$, as happened here, it only checks one word, so it deactivates after doing this.) - A: insert
A, givingPSA. - Ctrl-T: Swap the previous two characters, giving
PAS. - S, R, W, D: Type
SRWD, givingPASSRWD. - Ctrl-3, $, 5: We invoke the spellchecker again, because we want to correct our misspelled
PASSRWDintoPASSWORD. Note that we can't have it guess the word we want on our first try, like it would withPASSWRD, because the key to accept the closest real word is 0 which we can't press. As a result, the slightly more extreme misspellingPASSRWDis used to push the word we want into position 5, where we can accept it. - Ctrl-Q, 5, f: Insert the character with character code U+5f, i.e.
_. The document now readsPASSWORD_(or will when we start typing the next command; before then, the underscore doesn't appear in case we type another hex digit). - Ctrl-X, r, Ctrl-Space, 1: Store the current cursor position (relative to the start of the file) in register 1. For some bizarre reason, this is 1-indexed, so (having written 9 characters so far) the cursor is at position
10. - Ctrl-X, r, g, 1: Copy the content of register 1 into the document. It now reads
PASSWORD_10. - Ctrl-T: Swap the two characters before the cursor. We now have
PASSWORD_01, like the question asks for.
If we're allowed to use Alt, we can probably encode the "invoke spellchecker" command as the single byte a4 rather than spelling it out as 1b 24; it appears twice, so that leads to two bytes of savings. (Most modern terminals use 1b 24 as the encoding for Alt-$ to avoid clashes with UTF-8, but the a4 encoding is also encountered from time to time, sometimes available as a configuration option.)
Possible byte savings probably involve golfier misspellings to correct. PSASWRD would be a byte shorter to type, but unfortunately, the spellchecker doesn't seem capable of gleaning PASSWORD out of that, so PASSRWD is the best approach I've found so far. The register-based approach to gaining 10 is also ridiculously unwieldy, but there aren't many ways of creating numbers from nowhere in Emacs, and 0 is a painful character to get hold of otherwise. (At least there were a couple of amazingly useful coincidences: the cursor just happening to end up in position 10, which contains a 0, right when needed; and the fact that Emacs accepts the redundant g register operation to insert the contents of a register into the document, in addition to the more intuitive i.)

Thanks to @Kevin Cruijssen for -1 byte.
Code:
Build the string ".b". This is the code to turn integers to upper case letters:
"." push "."
A push the lower case alphabet
1.$ drop the first letter of that
R reverse the remaining string
24.$ drop the first 24 letters of that, so only "b" remains
AT<.$R15>.$ do the same trick for "j"
A21<.$R5.$ and for "u"
.V run "u" as code to turn "j" to "J"
.V run "J" as code, to join ".", "b" to ".b"
Save that string for later use:
D duplicate
21 push 21
s switch the top two elements [".b", 21, ".b"]
.V run ".b" as code, to get "U"
.V run "U" as code, to save ".b" in X
Build password string:
15>X.V push the 16th letter of the alphabet ("P")
"ASSW" push "ASSW"
15X.V push "O"
"RD" push "RD"
122D<s2X.V push 121, 122, "B"
.V run that as code to push "_"

This solution is shorter than the existing Whitespace answer (@n̴̖̋h̷͉̃a̷̭̿h̸̡̅ẗ̵̨́d̷̰̀ĥ̷̳ asked me to post it as a separated answer when I suggested it as golf) by utilizing this Whitespace tip of mine.
Push the code-points for the characters of "10_DROWSSAP" minus constant 80 to the stack
Start LOOP:
Add 80 to the current code-point
Pop and output it as character
Go to the next iteration of LOOP
The constant 80 has been generated with this Java program, which I've created and used for some previous Whitespace answers of mine.
Insomnia 39 35 31 29
This language comes up when I was looking around for a language that encodes its instructions with single ASCII character. The language actually operates on the decimal ASCII code of the character, so it is still quite flexible with half of the keyboard destroyed.
Drop it down further to 29 characters, which is possible after reducing memory usage and increases the search space:
FdFzt%dF<rGdt>tt Gtreeet t%4s
I decided to run my tweaked up program on the full set of allowed characters, and cut the solution down to 31 characters:
FdFGt dtreeC>tt FFdx<Fdtr ztq4s
I used a program to search for this solution. It is one among many solutions returned by my program, all with the same size.

Uses ] to make singletons.
Explanation
Let's see how "P" is generated and how the "ASSW" is appended without using the usual +.
"W" Push "W", or [87]
E Convert to a scalar, 87
E Convert to an array of digits, [8,7]
E Push 8 on the stack, then push 7.
d Pop the 7 and discard it.
Start making components of regex substitution
$ Pop 8, push "8"
"$" Push "$"
1 ! Push 0. The space is necessary because normally one doesn't do 1! to obtain 0
$ Pop 0, push "0"
R Do regex substitution 's/$/0/g' on the string "8"
Basically doing "8"+"0" without using +
e Pop "80", push 80
] Singleton. Pop 80, push [80], or "P"
"$""ASSW"R Use the same trick again to append "ASSW" to "P"
The rest are just repeating the same trick.
"a"EEE$"$"a$Re]R swaps the digits of "a" or [97] to make [79] or "O" and appends it to the string.
"$""RD"R appends "RD".
"$""a"EEEd$"$""5"Re]R uses "a" again to obtain "9" and discards the "7", then combines the "9" with a literal "5" to form [95] or "_", and appends it to the string.
"$"1 !$R obtains a zero by logical not of 1 and appends it to the string.
"$""1"R appends the final "1" and we are done.
Implicit output.

Try it online! Decimal is an esoteric language that uses nothing but decimals and the letter D. However, I needed the +10 penalty because almost every command uses 0.
Luckily, all of the commands needed to print PASSWORD_01 don't require any numbers over 6:
12...D- push a character2- pop a value41D- pop top two stack values, multiply and push result301- print DSI (default stack index)
By repeatedly pushing character values that only use the digits 1 through 5, then adding them, I can make the character values for each letter in PASSWORD_01.
Ungolfed and commented:

bash + vim (56)
Borrowing the Ctrl-XCtrl-E bash trick from Thor's solution, here is how I would do it in bash+vim:
C-XC-E starts default editor (usually vim)
a starts insert mode
.space ASSW
C-Vx4f inserts O
RD
C-Vx5f inserts _
1
C-3 is equivalent to escape (not just in vim, but anywhere in a terminal)
C-X subtracts 1 from the 1 i just typed
a insert mode again
1 C-3
buffer content is now . ASSWORD_01
<< unindent line (a no-op, since line is not indented) and move cursor to 1st column
a
C-X start word completion
C-V complete with ex command
C-V 9 more times selects the entry Print
C-3 back to normal mode
XXXxx deletes rint
< < back to column 1
s delete ., start insert mode
e
c
C-X
C-V ex command completion once again, entry echo already selected because of the ec i just typed
space
C-3 buffer content now echo PASSWORD_01
Z
Z save buffer, close vim, bash executes file content, i.e. echo PASSWORD_01
By the way: C-3 has many useful brethren: C-J is Enter, C-I is Tab, C-H is Backspace, C-2 is C-@ (i.e. a null-byte). And for emacs users it is nice to know that Escape followed by another key is equivalent to Alt + that key. So, even without Escape and Alt you can still type Meta-x like this: C-3x
Befunge-98, 43 +10 = 53 bytes

The 10 byte penalty is for the use of the , key (not sure why this couldn't be accomplished with Shift+<, but that seems to be the rule). And although the source is technically 40 characters, the three · characters contribute an additional three bytes because of their UTF-8 encoding.

Explanation:
I first found the list of allowed words. Essentially, the only things I could use that would be useful are:
12345Numeric constants<<Shift left>>Shift rights>fPush single to float stackf>dPop double from float stackfsqrtSquare root on float stack
So I could use numeric constants, bit-shift, and compute a square root using the following (>> replaces drop, shifting by 0 to remove the 0):
s>f fsqrt f>d >>
Fortunately, I found possible bit-shifts for every constant I needed to create that were shorter than using square roots. For the most part, I searched by simply printing each number squared, or a larger power of two if any of them contained a digit 6-0. Then, I realized I could use loss of precision from f>d to find more possibilities. (I could add to the number, but still get the same integer square root.) A bit later, I started using bit-shifting to find some, and then all, of the constants. The greater the >> bit-shift, the more I could add to the "magic number" and still get the same result. So I found the smallest bit-shifts I could use to get the necessary results. Even numbers could sometimes use <<, odds had to use >>.

The scripts use Perl's bitwise string XOR operator ^, which does an XOR on the character bits of the two strings. This lets me recreate the missing characters for PASSWORD_01, and create the characters for the system command.
I made the three variants depending on how lenient the rules are. I assume that since variants 2 and 3 actually output the words on Ideone, the solutions are valid. I removed the little story I had here since I figured no one would read it, but you can read it in the edits if you're curious!
bash, vim and dc (343)
I'm sitting at a bash prompt which has been configured by the Evil Genius, and of course he has VISUAL=vim in the default environment. Using the default bash binding for edit-and-execute-command (C-x C-e) bash invokes $VISUAL and will execute its buffer contents on exit (ZZ). I type in the following sequence (Note: kbd-mode are commands issued in normal mode and control sequences):
C-xC-e
acat<<<45C-c4C-aaa
Now the vim buffer contains
cat<<<49a. Continuing ...45C-c3C-aaa
54C-c41C-aaa
55C-c13C-aaa
Now the vim buffer contains

42C-c41C-aaa

Now the vim buffer contains

I needed the + character (costing +10), which can be obtained from the numpad (or on certain key layouts).
Yeah, the BOMB probably went off while I was typing that.
The basic approach is to construct ever larger character sets by using exec and "%c"%(number). There are four execs nested inside each other. Gradually, my digit set progresses up from
- 12345
- 1234567 (6 = ASCII 54, 7 = ASCII 55)
- 123456789 (8 = ASCII 56, 9 = ASCII 57)
- 0x0123456789abcdef
so that in the final iteration it is possible to express any character (so that the innermost version can actually run any program at all).
Around 50% of the program is just quote characters ("%c"%34 is a double quote), because the nested nature of the exec statements demands "escaping" quote characters aggressively.

Delete two characters – the$and thea– to makePASSWORD_a.$r1: Go to the end of the line and replace the current character (i.e.a) with1, resulting inPASSWORD_1.^X: Decrement the integer under the cursor, resulting inPASSWORD_0.a1: Finally, append1, forPASSWORD_01!

$*<<4*4*5<<214%135<<44%25*5<<1%1
$><<"%cASSW%cRD%c%d1"%$*
This answer uses * and % to build the ASCII values of the missing characters (and 0 as Fixnum) and pushes them into $* (ARGV). This array is then used in combination with a format string to generate the correct password, which is printed with $><< ($> is stdout).

Roughly the same principle as the above version, except that here the array is built from an empty array literal (%w%%). Some fiddling with . is needed to get the desired operator precedence.
