A court can compel you to open something within the warrant as well. In which case they can force you to open anything.

Yes, but that is a court order issued by the court not the police.

An order to unlock something coming from the cops is entirely different, even if they have a warrant. Warrants would allow them to seize a phone, but you don’t have to provide the password.
