Apologies... If you had replied to a question, I wouldn't have felt compelled to post that. But in the UK, it's illegal to refuse to give up your password.
What happens if you say you forgot the password, and the files in question haven't been accessed in over a year? This is a question in my initial post that's still relevant to UK jurisprudence; an answer to which could move the conversation forward in a way far more productive than imagining I didn't know the article was about something that happened in the UK.
I apologized man... What more do you want?
I'm not the one downvoting you. But I want a conversation that's adding information or content to which I wouldn't easily have access. So for instance, an answer to the question I pose above (or, if not a concrete answer, something along the lines of what would probably happen).
He's probably bored and thus wants to extend the discussion
Giving up my passwords would compromise the security of other people, so I wouldn't do it.
