Password Hint for Notes

If you try to enter a password for a locked note and the password is incorrect, you'll then be provided the hint.

I'm sorry I can't help you further. I'd suggest you use the Contact Support button at the top of this page and ask Apple.

Ps: since you marked your own answer as solved, you won't likely get many more responses from the community.

The hint will show after THREE unsuccessful attempts.

DOH! 😖

Now I can’t remove my test password from Notes....I can only change it. 😤

I don't know. Did you tap view note after it said the password was not correct? I don't use hints for locked notes. I keep all such passwords safely written down in a book under lock and key.
