Are you running the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell as Admin, meaning right click on it and do "Run as Administrator". Also make sure the account you are using to reset the farm passphrase has Shell Admin Access on the config DB:

Add-SPShellAdmin: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607596.aspx

Please open the Powershell command prompt with elevated privileges. In order to do the same, please right click the powershell prompt and from the context menu, select run as administrator.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
