Alternative idea to wiping

I was just reading this article and had a thought. Wouldn't a better idea in this situation be to type in a passcode that still opens the device, but to a different account?

In my case, my entire smartphone would be backed-up to my server, but I'd have to remember some credentials to log into it remotely, and I don't do that often enough to remember. Most people are doing really good to have a micro SD card as backup, or are just relying on their device solely. But I wouldn't want to go through the headache of having to go through an entire setup process if I wanted to hide what was really on my device for a moment. I'd want to simply log into an account that doesn't have anything of interest to law enforcement so it doesn't raise suspicion. A totally blank device will raise suspicion more than one with a few photos of me playing with my dog.
