A hash (especially a properly salted slowed hash) of a good password doesn't permit access to anything, because it's beyond cracking even with every dictionary and optimization you might have. A hash of a bad password does permit access. The law is going to have to wrap its head around that distinction somehow. Unfortunately "good" passwords have other problems, like being hard to type and remember... so there are practically no good passwords out there...
