As I have learned the hard way, you dont. You can only revoke it by uploading 
your Revocation Certificate that you generate from your key pair. Once you 
lose/forget/destroy/etc.. that key or password you cannot generate a Revocation 
Cert, and you end up with a key on the key servers that appears to be your 
current one but is not. 

I'm just an Average Joe, but I imagine for PGP & GPGTools to eventually make it 
out of the "only used by programmers" stage and into "used by the average joe" 
stage, this situation will need to be addressed some how. Otherwise you will 
end up with keyservers having millions of unactive, non-revoked keys. Maybe a 
short "How-To" in the Key Chain Access App Help Menu? Maybe Revocation Certs 
can be automatically generated when a new key is made? Just an idea. 

I've mentioned this before, but I still think GPGTools needs to revolve around 
a centralized visual App, something like Key Chain Access. The Average Joe 
doesn't need to know about, or doesn't care about , the other pieces. They can 
just get installed as part of the installer and appear as part of the 
functionality of the main App.  Imagine Microsoft Word being presented as 5 
separate Apps that a user had to deal with, there is no way 99% of people would 
even touch it.

My 2 cents
