Can you help me with Splunk password encryption for server.conf?

Hi,
I have a server.conf file under system/local directory which has following stanza
[general]
pass4SymmKey = $1$xxxxxxxxxx
I expect that this password is the encrypted form of pass4SymmKey in server.conf at system/default.
But even though I changed pass4SymmKey in server.conf at system/default , the pass4SymmKey in server.conf at system/local directory is not getting updated.
Then I removed the pass4SymmKey in server.conf at system/local directory. After restart , the same password is getting generated.
Do you know from which source pass4SymmKey in server.conf at system/local might get generated other than pass4SymmKey in server.conf at system/default ?
