Again, no no no no no.
You don't have to assist a search warrant. If the police come knocking at the door and ask "where are you keeping the drugs" you don't go to prison for saying "ooh sorry constable, I'm afraid I've forgotten, you're just going to have to have a look yourself".

You do have to grant them access to everywhere stated in the warrant, otherwise you're obstructing the officers
You don't have to tell them where the illegal stuff is, obviously, but the two things are separate.
However, it is far easier to batter down a locked door than it is to break encryption, hence that RIPA part was brought in.
