Were the police allowed to do that?

What do you mean they "forced" you to? They have the right to ask you and even insist you give it to them. If you do so then they have the right to use it to access your stuff because you technically "gave consent" I guess. They do not have the right to apply pain or torture to get you to give the password. Did they do that? If you are in a situation like that and you want your parents involved the thing to do is to say "I am a minor, I do not consent to any further interrogation without my parents or guardian present." No matter what else they say just repeat that line. Perhaps though it would be best to cooperate with the investigation.
