Fallout 2 endgame bug?

When I try to access the computer to get the turrets to fire at Frank. All I get is the computer is off or some stupid jokes about the computer being an apricot or my ugly reflection. Am I totally screwed?

Well, I've never actually done it myself, but I think you must have a key of some sort to readjust the turrets.

No, not really. It'll be only harder for you to finish the game because you'll need to defeat Frank without help of the turrets. It's not that hard. Also [minor spoiler alert]

you can persuade some Enclave troopers to assist you, but I don't remember what exactly do you have to do, sorry

SPOILER BELOW:

Yes, you must have a key from the President.You can only get it by killing him.

Interesting, I never had success in persuading the Enclave troopers to assist me, although when I played the game for 2nd time, my charisma was very high.Perhaps I should just start the dialogue once again and I would convince them, sometimes that works.

I think you must have a pretty high speech skill rather than very high charisma. Or maybe both

It's all up to Speech skill. You have to set it to 130 to persuade them to help you.

Or get Sharpshooter (and other sniper skills)+ Gauss Rifle+ Max small arms skill. And send your foolish companions to their deaths.
