I think he probably means he has a distress password that will destroy his encrypted data if he was put under duress to disclose anything. I don't believe he is saying he can withstand pain indefinitely.

Seems like anyone with a clue would have made a raw copy of the data before applying the password. Assuming the raw media is physically accessible to them, that is. Hmmm....
