How to get rid of the codeplug password on a Motorola XPR 6550?

Hello! I just bought a VHF model Motorola XPR 6550 off of eBay recently, however upon trying to read it on CPS to get the frequency I monitor into it, I was greeted with a codeplug password prompt.
I do not know the password, and it originally didn't have a battery meaning that the seller didn't know of said password (This is my first Motorola radio, and had I known that codeplug passwords existed I would've checked for a model with a battery and was programmed first). I've seen that I could use recovery mode and put a new firmware and codeplug onto there, however these files are not available online and I don't have nor know how to access MOL. Does anybody know a way to do this and/or where to find the resources I need to do this?

At the Orlando Hamcation I bought 2 radios from a seller that were similarly locked. On the first radio, I already had a few, so I popped in the codeplug from one, & it became a clone of the others, & was fine. The second radio I had to use recovery because I had no saved codeplugs for that model radio. The recovery files were already in my CPS, & the recovery was successful. If you can’t do either, return the radio as useless junk since it’s locked, & you can’t program it.
