No, you can.  Just use the revocation certificate that you created at
the same time you generated your key.  The revocation certificate's
potency is not subject to a passphrase---it can't be, because you're
meant to distribute the revocation certificate through the same
channels as your public key, if your key is compromised, so that
everyone knows it's revoked.

You did make a revocation certificate when you generated your key,
didn't you?  It's standard procedure.

Yeah I thought so.  I didn't make one, either.
