Hhmm.... are you _really_ sure you type in the correct pass phrase, i.e.
exactly the same way as you entered it on the "openssl rsa" line when
creating the private key? I have to ask you this, because internally the
mod_ssl pass phrase dialog is actually based on the same code in OpenSSL
which is used under "openssl rsa". So it makes me wondering why the same
piece of code should accept your pass phrase just once and then never
again. As a last chance, keep in mind that you at least can also remove
the pass phrase at all (consult the mod_ssl FAQ, please).
