Locked out of notes.

Hey guys, I locked a couple of my notes few months back and i seem to have forgotten the password. I went to settings and reset the password for viewing locked notes but i guess that only works for the new locks on the new notes (I know this because the hint on the old notes remains unchanged and the new password i set does not work for these notes). I really need your help. Thank you.

P.S: I really hope the answer isnt " you cant open them up anymore" 😭😭😭😭😭

Regards,

Sumaid.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

Please see: How to lock notes on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support.

As that article says: "You can create a new password, but this won’t give you access to your old notes. A new password will let you password protect any notes that you create going forward with the new password." So, yes. The Notes are gone. Sorry about that.
