[cisco-voip] CM Security password

[Jason Burns]

The current CUCM 8.5.1 implementation of DRS prompts you with this message
before you start a backup:

============
The DRS Backup archive encryption depends on the current security password
(Provided at the time of install). During a restore, you could be prompted
to enter this security password if this password has been changed.
============

So in that case you're hosed.

I'll have to check if that same behavior exists in 7.1.5.
