Probably even an Admiral like Kirk could not ask for the code. Even if it were in the computer, Kahn would never have been shown it. Anyway, I was under the impression that Spock actually had to get the code out of a paper book hidden somewhere on the bridge and it had to be manually typed in. Not the kind of thing you have to do when it is in the computer. A very clever idea those codes, designed exactly for the purpose Kirk used them for, which is when a federation ship has been captured by the enemy. Surprised you can't disable the engines on the ship that way.
