Do you mean you started up emacs without X? If so...

...looks like a pinentry-curses dialog. Actually the integration of
pinentry-curses with Emacs is not yet ready:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=8791#8
I was a bit surprised that the dialog is somehow working :)
Anyway, workarounds are to use gpg1 without gpg-agent, or to preset your
passphrase with gpg-preset-passphrase.
