Hi @Kevin,
You can confirm your certificate file type, the password is only required if they are PKCS #12 certificate file and the file contains a private key or chain of trust.
This password is the one you chose when you exported the certificate from GoDaddy. If GoDaddy did not provide you with a password for the certificate, it is likely that the certificate was not exported with a password. For more details you can ask GoDaddy's support team or go to their official forum for help.

After you confirm, you can try to import your certificate without using a password according to the following document.
