My reaction here is no, the password is truly in his mind, and it opens the entire hard drive for a fishing expedition into anything and everything that he has on his compter. He may well be guilty, and if he is I hope he is lcoked away.

I believe the law in the UK demands that passwords or PGP keys be given to the police if they ask in their investigations
