[cisco-voip] Check and verify security password on a CUCM 7.1

[Anthony Kouloglou]

Hi Anthony,
you are right about the procedure.
I think it would work. Obviously there would be licensing problems if 
the VM starts but that's not our case.

Anyway, i am going to change the security password via cli (the 
procedure looks smooth and easy!) and then get a backup.
In that way, i am going to be sure that the backup would work if ever 
needed :-)
Thanks for your time

Regards
Anthony
