It all comes down to whether the
password itself is considered protected information by the Fifth Amendment. As far as I know, at present it
is considered protected because the act of disclosing it could reveal evidence that would incriminate one's self. It's a stretch, I'll admit, but to my understanding, that's the current legal precedent (until it is inevitably revised/clarified by the Powers That Be).
