It might have been a part of AMP, what I do not use.

Have you tried my other suggestion?  Google

Yes,  I tried all of them and it did not work, therefore I posted the

trying the settings in voicemail.conf

I found the solution as already posted before! The string is taken from 
the password file and after I  changed it, it works as I wish.
