Upon further inspection, I don't think this is the password for your private
key. The screen says "Please enter the following 'extra' attributes to be sent
with your certificate request. A challenge password [] An optional company
name []" What is this password for?
Also, I am wondering if it is a good idea to protect the CA private key and
client private keys with a password? What are the pros and cons? I have read
that it wouldn't be good to protect the server's private key because it
couldn't start up without putting in the password.

Even when I am using the 'build-key' and
'build-key-server' batch files (i.e. ones without 'pass' in
them), when I get toward the end of putting the parameters in it
asks for a password. What's this for? Should I actually enter
one?
