Any repair person would be a fool to not immediately blank the hardrive. Avoid any possible accusation that they used any information from the computer in anyway, should be the rule if they want to keep their job and stay out of jail.
Think about it like this: you get a computer to work on then crack the password and find a crime. You are in trouble if you admit you cracked the password and you are in trouble if you don't report the crime.
Lose/lose on that one.
