OpenSSL hangs when trying to decrypt private key

I am trying to "decrypt" a password-protected private key using OpenSSL in gitbash. When I enter the command $openssl rsa -in filein -out fileout, it hangs (I can type and press enter but nothing happens, Ctrl+C doesn't bring me back to command prompt). I think it should be prompting me for the password, but it just returns a blank line.



If I use an incorrect input file, I get an error message, so the problem is not the incorrect input file.



Any help is appreciated, thanks!
