You never have to make a statement to the police, and this is why it's part of the Miranda warning. There is no per se right to remain silent before a judge. The fifth amendment allows one to not be whitness against oneself, but that doesn't allow you to ignore the judge. And if you raise the fifth as a response and the court does not believe it applies, you get to argue why it does before another judge, which is where this man is now. A forgotten password is not part of the current debate.
