I think it's pretty well settled that passwords to known accounts is not
self-incrimination. Forcing disclosure of unknown account names might be.
People are routinely forced to provide access to their property or even DNA
samples. But the police have to have a reason to believe there is something
there. This is similar.
Back in the days of paper ledgers a search warrant was used to look for evidence
in those records. Or to search a house for incriminating evidence, police are
even able to force a safe open, if necessary.

And this is a civil case, so the 5th doesn't apply unless they are trying to
conceal criminal activity.
