Ethical procedures: 1. The owner of the site have full right to know and change the passwords on the site. 2. Any developer must inform their employer of any passwords for the site. 3. A developer who leaves an employer should inform the employer of their change in work status as well as follow item 2. Two weeks notice is usual. In the case mentioned below, I see no issue of ethics that have to be examined or followed. The owner of the site wants access, simple as that.
