Hello! I recently purchased a Motorola R7 UHF Capable for 600 CAD (~436 USD) on Facebook Marketplace. This is my first Motorola purchase and I was super excited!
That was until I received my programming cable and hooked it up to the CPS. The codeplug is password-protected. I expected this, having been searching around on the internet about other people experiences with second-hand Motorola radios. I will admit, this was a lack of due diligence on my part before purchasing the radio. Keeping the information on the codeplug was never a target of mine, however, as I don't know the business of which the radio comes from, so that wasn't that big of a deal for me. However, when I tried to recover the radio with the proper firmware from Motorola, or even write a unlocked codeplug from another source onto my radio, it still asked for a password which has me completely baffled. This is absolutely not what I expected based on the experiences of others that I have seen.
I emailed Motorola asking if there was anything that they could do, and they mentioned Enhanced Password Recovery which is a service that can only be obtained through their authorized partners.
I am now hoping that one of you lovely people had any other things I could try before reaching out to different partners in my are, asking for help with my radio.
(please forgive me if i'm lacking any crucial information, please ask and i will gladly hand it over, all help is greatly appreciated
