Lock on Notes

Hi. Previously I cannot unlock my notes using password because I cant remember the passwords. But I still can open the notes using Face ID. However, after I reset my Face ID, I can no longer open the notes. I tried resetting the password for Notes but it turned out the password will only be effective for future notes. So now what can I do to access my old notes ?

Locked Notes Hi everyone, i have a Question regarding Notes. I have a few locked notes, and all of a sudden I couldn’t open them anymore with Face ID. I needed to type in my password, and I forgot it. Does anybody know why I couldn’t use Face ID anymore? If I make a new Note, Face ID works fine, but on my old ones it doesn’t. Thanks.

Not able to unlock old locked notes When I tried to open the old locked notes I am not able to open as Face ID is not showing up and I don’t remember the old password. Please provide options for this it’s really pain in the heart to loose the content of the important notes. Even willing to pay for the options.

You can't, without a password they are locked.
