[FDE] Should Boucher be forced to handover the password toencrypted data?

But they can't order you to recite the combination to the combination lock
on your shed.  They are welcome to use the bolt cutters, but you do not have
to recite numbers.

A court can order you to turn over your house keys.

Why cannot it order you to turn over your data keys?
