Just pondering this, and it seems still vulnurable if your passwords are stored like this. What if the password is unintentionally leaked? Why not use a tiered authentication strategy, such as an accompanied RSA token? Such that the password is the least of your worries, and so that the RSA dongle these privileged people have is the real verification. So when they call your DR admin, then give them the password, then the RSA token currently on their dongle. Seems like a more secure method, if you want as much security over your recovery and the data involved as I infer from your current plan.
