I've taken the liberty of writing up a short guide to the decryption, complete with proof-reading by Wire himself:

The cypher book is the in-game Hydroponics Guide, the necessary content starts after Chapter 1; headlines, tips, Addendums and anything before Chapter 1 is not used.
The cypher code is PWL - Paragraph, Word, Letter (remember that 0's count as the first thing!).
Also note that hyphens count as words!!!
Chapter 1 is paragraphs 0-6, chapter 2 is 7-19, chapter 3 is 20-27, chapter 4 is 28-47.
Password example:
----------
28 3 4 33 28 3 40 18 6 26 15 0 29 27 0 22 5 0 47 19 0
28 3 4: i
33 28 3: v
40 18 6: d
26 15 0: U
29 27 0: y
22 5 0: k
47 19 0: D

How to get the numbers: go in-game and tune your headset to 148.7, the male vox will read them off twice in succession every 15 minutes into the round.
The numbers change with every hour, but passwords from the previous hour will still work until the next cycle.
Wire is currently updating the console frequently, and one of the recent additions is the "sudo" command... which apparently requires a completely different password. We're not entirely sure how to get that one yet.
This might be a silly idea, but if the Hydroponics Guide is the key to decoding the cypher, well...
