Have you tried the steps outlined in the manual on pages 48 - 49 with the addition of the KY, NK, EE and EO commands?

The manual explicitly says “Security Disable Only”, but no I have not tryed assuming that the procedure is not the same.
Thanks

The process should be very similar with the exception of the above additional commands. Keep in mind that you will need to know what the KY and NK values are in the existing network as these are Non-readable commands.
