It doesn't require one. I treat Windows as inherently insecure and consider password protection of it pointless (against any intruder with any real knowledge). I assume that I would have had to provide any password if asked, just as I had to unlock my checked bag to let them search that.
The funny thing is that I had been considering just the night before whether to disable the Windows boot altogether and make it boot straight into Linux. I so wish I'd done that, because I've have loved to have seen what he'd have done with a Linux command line.
