That's the usage message not the manual page. The manual pages are in doc/apps
in the OpenSSL distribution or online. See:

http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/openssl.html#PASS_PHRASE_ARGUMENTS

These are saying that you don't just give the passphrase as an argument you
need pass:XXXX where XXXX is the passphrase or various other options described
there.
