How could I get the password for keyfile?

2

As far as I know, the private key generated by letsencrypt has no password at all. If you need a key with password you could do something like this:

openssl rsa -aes192 -in yourprivatekeywithoutpassword.pem -out newprivatekeywithpassword.pem

The command will ask for the new password and will generate the new key.

Whatever you do, make a backup of the original key… just in case :wink:

Edit: changed cypher from des3 to aes192 in example command.
