I've wondered about scenarios where you can legitimately claim to not know the password to decrypt a drive. A few different cases I can think of which may be ruled differently by a court.

1) I use a password manager so I don't know the password. However, I have the means to acquire the password.

2) I use a password manager but somehow lost access to it unintentionally.

3) I use a password manager and lost access to it by design. (eg. Using a dead man's switch of some kind that deletes it if I don't "check in" for some period of time)

4) I used to know the password. However, I suffered a traumatic brain injury and cannot recall it.

I obviously don't have the answers but I think these are interesting to think about as different points in a large legal grey area.

one i've ben thinking of is a shuffled keymapping or keyboard - you know what password you type, but not what it actually translates into.

Not bad, but that key-map would have to be accessible unencrypted from the encrypted device no? Unless somehow hard-mod a physical keyboard or something?
