> What if the person being ordered to hand over the password says "I forgot"? How do we know if they have genuinely forgotten the password? I'm curious what case law there is there for this situation. I change my passwords fairly frequently using a password generator, so if I don't use the password regularly, I forget it quickly. If someone brought me an old laptop of mine, it's more likely than not I genuinely wouldn't remember the password for it. Also, there's the situation where someone isn't sure if the order to give their password is legal, so a court battle ensues for a year, but then even if they lose at the Supreme Court, what if in that year they forgot their password simply because they hadn't used it in so long?
