A court order is not easy to obtain and usually investigators have good reasons for asking for one. Warrantless searches is what I worry about, plus in some countries there are laws protecting people that don't want to disclose their password, like the fifth amendment in the US. You also have to consider that the punishment for refusing to comply with a court order may be less than the damage you may do to your case by disclosing your password and here I'm specifically thinking about people that do have something life-threatening to hide, like whistleblowers or whatever.
