I'm using sotez, but I don't know how to convert edsk to edesk like tezos-client.

var mnemonic = crypto.generateMnemonic();
crypto.generateKeys(mnemonic, pass).then(function (data) { /* data.sk prefix is edsk, not edesk */ }

Any solutions?

I'm not sure if I understand your question. I think that the prefix of tezos-client private keys are also edsk. – arvidj Dec 16 '19 at 13:03
Thank you for your comment. I remember that it was edsk before. Now I need a password when I do gen key. – tezos_tacos Dec 16 '19 at 13:18
Ah, I see. edesk keys are encrypted, password-protected, edsk keys. With tezos-client, edsk is generated by gen keys. To generate edsk, do gen keys --encrypted. Unfortunately, I don't know how to do this with sotez. Try posting an issue on their github page: github.com/AndrewKishino/sotez/issues – arvidj Dec 16 '19 at 13:56
