Locked notes

I have a locked note that I can’t remember pw. I have already reset and changed passwords but that only applies to new notes. I didn’t have Face ID on when notes was locked so can’t use that. Please help

Hey there,


To unlock a note, you need to enter the password that it's locked with. If you forgot the password, Apple can't help you regain access to your locked notes. 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.
