UV-5G plus pass word

[dmcpher326]

I just received this radio. Have the cable for it so I connected it up to the computer. Found the correct comm port and read the radio. So far so good. But when I tried WRITING back to the radio, it said "completed" on the computer but now it has a password set..I DID NOT SET A PASSWORD.

Is there a way to get this corrected to no password?  I have no idea what the password is...

Thanks

David

Go in and look at your settings in the software and see if it shows anything for the password and try to change/remove it... If you dont see anything, try 00000 .. if that doesn't work, contact the seller as they have a way to reset it (then let us know what that way is).

Look in the program file you uploaded. It seems as though there may have been one there. Otherwise download from the radio and see if it will retrieve it and display it. If none of that helps, I'm at a loss.
