Unfortunately for a write password, there isnt an easy solution like recovery. If you can prove ownership of the radios, then you may be able to have Motorola send you a Password of the Day that will allow you to get in and change or remove the password requirement.

Kinda looks like that you will have 32 paper weights that resemble the Motorola XPR2500 radio.

About a year ago, an organization gave me 24 CT250 radios that were password protected and I had a computer whiz kid try to do a Hex Edit in the CPS to bypass/ignore the password with no such luck. We'll, I didn't need anymore paper weights so the radios and multi-pocket chargers went to eWaste. No lost to me.

Just because you couldn't find a way to do it doesnt mean its not possible.

I won't facilitate helping the OP with this, but a little bit of research goes a long way OP.

Have your departments legal get involved. If those are government agency radios and he used a password they can easily strong arm it from him or he can face some hefty charges.

There are people who can easily fix it and I've had it done. Takes about 2 minutes if the person has the needed tools and knowledge. If the OP was in So Cal I might share my guy.

"and this a non supported fire department (and we pay for everything)" I am sure his Legal department will get right on that...

I sent the OP a PM with some hints on what to do.....
