Password for notes

I have forgotten the password for my old notes and was wondering if it was possible to get help to open some of my old notes or change the password for the old notes. I have tried changing the password but it says it doesn’t work on old notes, what do i do?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

Unfortunately there is no “workaround” “bypass” or “recovery” method other than the hint which you might have provided when initially setting the password.


You must correctly enter the password or the note will remain locked.


The “good news” is that there’s no “failed attempt” limit so keep on trying.
