If you remove the password encryption on your private key,
I believe you won't be getting this (it's what I belive
most people do that configure SSL servers to auto start on
boot without manual intervention).

If memory serves, I believe something like

req -key INPUT_KEY_FILE -keyout OUTPUT_KEY_FILE -nodes

will take an existing encrypted private key file and
strip the password encryption off of it. If I got
this wrong, check the SSL archives, I know that
this question has been asked and answered several
times before...you will find the proper syntax
there.
