restart apache, but with secure cert -- "pass phrase"

[sfullman]

I have root access to the server.

I made the "mistake" of restarting apache (which I've done before with no problem). However since that last time I've had a digital certificate installed. I get a message that says:

Some of your private key files are encrypted for security reasons.
In order to read them you have to provide us with the pass phrases.
Server your.server.dom:443 (RSA)
Enter pass phrase:...

I don't know the pass phrase, and OK, the guy who installed the cert isn't available.

1. Can I find the pass phrase (as root) in plain text anywhere?
2. If not, how can I override this?

THANKS FOR SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS THIS AND CAN ASSIST.

Sincerely,
Sam Fullman

Not good. New cert time?
