Ssh-keygen -p

    -p      Requests changing the passphrase of a private key file
            instead of creating a new private key.  The program will
            prompt for the file containing the private key, for the old
            passphrase, and twice for the new passphrase.

* ssh-keygen -p -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa
