openvpn-password

hello forum,
i use openvpn to connect from client 1 location 1 to 2 in 2..
its working since month without problems.
i know that i set a password in creation for key creation using scripts but lost password..
questions:
when password is needed.. and for what?
normally its enough to copy the config folder or key file and all fine.. to a new pc..?
if i want to setup a new password, what should i do, possible to recover?
if not possible..
if i want to create a new key file.. can i backup old ones on 1 and 2 just in case and replace if sth goes wrong?
or is there a way to keep old key file / config files and connection and add a second config file and change to the new one if all is updated and maybe tested?
Is there a link to how to create a new key file?
thx for info
