Maybe you're trying to change the passphrase for a file you've
encrypted using symmetric encryption.  In that case:
1. Open the file in emacs.
2. Enter the original passphrase when prompted.
3. Type a letter then remove it (to convince emacs the file changed)
4. C-x C-s will prompt you for a new passphrase.

Hope this helps,
Joe
