Hello,


If you forget your password, the only way to view a locked note is by using Touch ID, Face ID or an approved Apple Watch (if you have a device that supports one of those features and you enabled it before you forgot your password). For that reason, it’s strongly recommended that you add a hint when you create your password. Notes shows the hint after three failed attempts.


Kind Regards,

Kade
