Locked Notes

Usually when I go to unlock my notes, I just need my thumbprint to unlock them. Now, I have to type in a password. I never setup a password for my notes but now it suddenly has one. How can I get rid of this problem?

You could not have enabled Touch ID if there wasn't a Notes password.


Did you add a hint to your Notes password? That should appear after entering the wrong password twice.
