How to decrypt RSA Private Key using OpenSSL

Web servers like Apache or Nginx, as well as most of other various software, require not-encrypted private keys when you install an SSL certificate.
If you have an encrypted RSA private key, it can be easily decrypted using OpenSSL as long as you remember the passphrase.

The command to decrypt the RSA private key is following:

openssl rsa -in encrypted.key -out decrypted.key

In cases when the passhprase is unknown, the easiest solution is just generating a new CSR/Key pair and reissuing your SSL certificate at your SSL vendor side.

To learn how to generate the CSR/Key pair using OpenSSL, head out to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r086CI73GzA
