I would think that depends on the scope of the search; ISTR that in some 
cases, you could be required to turn over the password, but only after 
reaching an agreement about the scope of the search only applying to data 
pertaining to the crime being investigated - the data couldn't be used 
for other prospective crimes.

IANAL and all that, though.
