Anyone know the answer to this :  does encrypting your wallet (putting a passphrase on it) end all your PoS minting irretrievably?

Like say hypothetically some guy was trying to mint pos blocks, and he waited 20 days with nvc in his wallet, then he put a password on the wallet, is all the minting contributions / pos work lost?  I -- errhhh--- I mean some guy were to remove the password immediately after putting it on his wallet, would it just resume where it left of regarding PoS minting, or would all the work be lost ?

THanks.
