S e ? o L _ _ Digit

Since upper case should be more than lower case. Here one upper case should be there and also of all the 5 characters to use. punctuation mark has not been used so the sixth and 7th can be a upper case char and a punctuation mark.

Now, another exception is that consecutive char cant be used, so sixth cant be upper case. Which leaves us with Punctuation mark as 6th and Upper case as 7th.

"?" is one of the punctuation marks.

­The Password is
  1. S
  2. e
  3. ?
  4. o
  5. L
  6. [__]
  7. [__]
  8. [digit]
The password  include sat least one character of each of five types: special characters, digits, punctuation marks, uppercase letters and lowercase letters
=> Either the 6th or 7th character will be special character

Because the password will contain more uppercase letters than any other four types
=> Either the 6th or 7th character will be uppercase letters for the number of uppercase letters to be highest - 3 (because there are already 2 lowercase letters)
=> The uppercase must be at 7th position because No consecutive characters in the password can be of the same type (the 5th position is already an uppercase letter)

6th position: special character
7th position: uppercase letter

I didn't realize that the "?" was part of the password. I was thinking in my head that it was an unknown value :').
