Locked Notes

I don’t know the password to my locked notes and now I am unable to access them. I already tried changing the password and re entering it and that didn’t work.

You cannot access locked notes unless you know the password used to lock them. There is no “back door” that will bypass the password. You can create a new password, but it will only apple to new locked notes. The only somewhat good news is that you get unlimited guesses.
