That would be a whole different situation from the get go, it would be a fact based question based on credibility. Courts evaluate people's credibility all the time and make determinations of credibility. If a judge believes that you are telling the truth when you say you forgot, he would let you off, if the judge doesn't believe you, then you'd have to go to jail.
- diafygi 10y agoMy question wasn't as much focused on the get go. But if my device was confiscated and we had many months of legal discourse, and I was then compelled to unlock my device, it's entirely possible that I've lost the muscle memory for the code. Now I run the chance of permanently locking the device by just the sheer amount atrophy of password memory. Anyway, agree that this hypothetical isn't as relevant to this situation, but compelling someone to give up information they don't actually possess seems like the slope this is slipping down.
