Hi, There is no way to bypass or override the passphrase associated with your SSL key. The key is encrypted and only the right passphrase can decrypt it to be usable by Apache. If you don't have this passphrase, you should start thinking about generating a new key and acquiring a new SSL certificate. To find what key is Apache using, look in your httpd.conf file to see where the SSL configuration is store and there you will find the path of the SSL key and certificate.
