What you're describing isn't supported by the software.  A number of
things would need to be done besides just changing the engineID.  You'd
also need to reset the boots and time values for USM.

Generally, engineIDs shouldn't ever change on a device without wiping
out the entire config and starting over (as an example, the SNMPv3 users
configured for the system are tied to the engineID so after you change
it the existing users will be completely useless)
