Hi,

Only private keys can be encrypted by openssl with a password.
Certificates are basically public keys, therefore, password
protecting them is completely pointless. EasyRSA does not
offer any form of subsequent encryption.

You can encrypt any file yourself using openssl.

To determine if a private key is password protected, simply
look at the HEADER line in the file, which will read as:
-----BEGIN ENCRYPTED PRIVATE KEY-----
 or
-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----

For help with OpenVPN, there are two (possibly more) passwords,
of which, it is not clear which type you mean.

There is a password to unlock an encrypted private key.
This requires OpenVPN option --askpass, to query for the password.

There are also login/connection passwords.  All of which are
configured by the server.

These passwords require OpenVPN options such as --auth-user-pass
in the client config, to query for a username and password.

And others for tokens and OTP.

Regards
R
