Mysterious Figure

One mysterious night a random shape and a box appeared on a square piece of land. Upon close inspection, it was realized that the shape was in fact not at all random and held the passcode for the box. You being the crypto expert were called to open the box. The box read as follows: “The enclosed red area holds the answer”. You are provided with the length of the inner squares, which is 98765. Please find out the passcode, floored down to the nearest integer.
