How to reset the Notes APP Note file password?

I have a locked note file inside the Notes APP and I'm using and developing it for more than 3years!

Basically, I'm using it almost every day on my MacBook.


However, something when wong the "touch id" does not work, Now I'm stuck in entering password page.

I tried to reset the iCloud id and notes app password, but none of it is working.


My question is there have any solutions to allow me to use the Touch id again or reset the note file password?

I can't live without this file :'(

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.4

Sorry, but no, there is no way to reset a forgotten notes password. While you can make a new password, that only affects new notes, not those locked under the forgotten password .


Bottom line is to ever access that locked note, you will have to remember its password. You do get unlimited guesses.
