ok since u have answered me so kindly (and so fast) I will ask u several
more questions hoping u will clarify the fog:
when I create a request and a private key (using req -keyout ...) I get a
req and an encrypted private key (with password) after I use the rsa command
with the old password (to remove pass phrase) do I have an un encrypted key
????
and if so will another rsa command will encrypt it again ?
thanx
Dana Lupu

Provided you know the old passphrase, you can use the "openssl rsa" command
to modify passphrases.
If you have lost or forgotten the old passphrase, you of course cannot
recover the key (otherwise we could stop working on cryptography :-).
Best regards,
