Jailed for refusing to tell Police a password

On the front page of the Metro it says that a teenager has been jailed for refusing to reveal a password. Does anyone know the law for this? It's in Scoitland so maybe it's different. It seems to me that you should not be forced to reveal passwords, seems a lttle out of order to sling him in jail. Presumably it's on some sort of "obstruction" charge, any thoughts and opinions on this? Anyone have a detailed understanding of this area? thanks

I should imagine the police and government security services use something a little more advanced than a free password cracker!

How advanced can it be when it's not even making a dent furthermore a crack.
