How Can I Remove the Password From a TYT MD-UV390

[MikeyC]

Howdy!

I just purchased a TYT MD-UV390 (Non-GPS) on Amazon. It arrived, I unboxed it and charged it and turned it on and it's asking for a password. The same goes if I try and read or write to it using CPS MD-UV380 v1.07. The directions specifically say to use the 380 CPS with the 390 CPS resulting in an "Incorrect model number" error.

I've hit the Interwebs with a fury and tried suggested default passwords (00000000,77777777,99999999) and found CPS versions to remove passwords from MD-2017 and MD-380 models.

Any suggestions?

Maybe a Factory reset

Contact Amazon for a RMA and Return Item...

Drop the situation into Amazon's lap and let them solve the problem.

Dang Chinese radio manufacturers always have to screw something up. But I agree with Baofeng Blogger...tell Amazon to fix it or give you your money back.

I contacted the seller and am still waiting on a satisfactory reply. HOWEVER, I did seem to find a workaround. Thanks for everyone's response!

Remove Password MD380/90
1. Go to folder the CPS is in (C:\TYT)
2. look for file - setting.ini
3. Right click and edit
4. password=0 change to password=password
5. Save

Connect radio to PC and turn on in normal mode.
a. Read Code plug from radio.
b. General Settings remove all 3 passwords
c. Save Code plug
d. Write back to radio

This worked and it looks like my codeplug was corrupt
