SSL Certificate Shared Secret Passphrase Lost

Hi, I've just created a new SSL certificate but stupidly did not save the shared secret passphrase. It states under the Passphrase field on the SSL Certificate creation page: Do not use an important password. Passphrases stored in CSRs are not encrypted, which means third party attackers can easily read these passphrases.
Can the passphrase be recovered? Otherwise what should I do? Any assitance would be appreciated.

  Hello, Have you already purchased a SSL certificate with that CSR/Key? If not, you could simply generate a new CSR/KEY. Thank you.
