Locked Notes

Hi. So, I was locked out of my iPhone several months ago to where I had to wait 21 days before I could change my AppleID to regain access to my account.

in any event, when I was finally able to get back in, I noticed some of my notes in the Notes app were now password protected, however, I never locked the note to begin with so I don’t know the password to access my notes or turn off “requires password.”

Since I don’t know the password and there does not appear to be a password reset option, is there any way to regain access to my locked notes please?

Thanks to anyone that assists

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

Only the password that was used to lock a note can unlock it. That password cannot be reset, and there is no way to retrieve it,

If you do not know their password, locked notes are inaccessible until you provide it. There is no way around it.

you can only regain access by using the password used to lock the notes.

Hi thanks for answering. So, since so didn’t know you could password protect notes, I didn’t place the password on the note, so is there anything I can do?
