I see your concerns Volv. But I don't think this cannot be fixed. You said

yes, this is the exact cause of this problem

If you had a whole bunch of "Password Required" dialogs popping up (with no explanation of which password is currently being asked for) it would surely cause confusion.
If a bunch of popping up dialogs are necessary, then there must be, nothing is wrong with it. Also, if user found the file which he was looking for then he can just press Ignore button on that dialog window and search will be ended at that moment. But if user couldn't find the file which he was looking for and if he is sure there must be, then providing options to help him find that file is not bad and I don't think it will cause any confusion as long as an understandable dialog is written. Note also that, the decrypted files will not be tried to decrypt again and again, only the remaining ones which couldn't be decrypted will be tried to decrypt with new passwords provided at the end of the searches.
