soooo my notes passwords arenât working at all! I always had Face ID on them so never had to type the password in. Now it says to type the password in manually but I forgot it. I went on settings and reset the password but it still isnât letting me get to my notes. Please help guys:)
When you created the locked notes password, you were given the option to create a password hint. If you didn't do that, nor write the password down somewhere for future recall, the notes will remain locked until you remember the password. If you cannot remember the password, there is no way to reset the locked notes password, so the notes will be locked forever.
There is no workaround for this. It's so important to keep track of important passwords. If the notes were important enough to lock, having the ability to reset the password would make the lock on the notes pretty much useless.
Something old fashioned such as this has saved me more times than I can count:
You will need the original password to unlock your notes, there is no other way around it. If you can't remember your password, your notes are locked for good.
Thank you for your help. Thatâs very annoying tho nooo🤦🏽ââïž😂
