It probably depends. There is no official Apple repair shops here, but some partners. Some years ago I had to replace a battery on my mothers' Apple laptop and one of them refused to replace battery if I don't give them admin password. I had to make full backup, erase all data and restore it after battery replacement. I haven't had such experience with other Apple repair shop here.
