That's actually what happens: you set a "master" password in
DriveEncryption (the "Change Password..." menu), and that can unlock
encrypted volumes with completely different passwords - that master
password is like a key chain (that Haiku still misses).
You will have to check the "Auto" & "Remember" box in order to enable
automatic mounting.
