How can they prove guilt? Innocent until proven guilty under English common law, right?

It's not about guilt. It's about whether or not you know the password. In most cases not knowing the password will be deemed improbable because the chances are extremely low. You'll have to provide a scenario where it becomes probable, and said scenario must be deemed probable as well.
