Notes Password

I had to get a new phone after my iPhone 7+ screen broke and started glitching out and pressing random things. I couldn’t properly back up my iPhone 7+ data properly onto my iPhone 11 because the screen of the 7+ kept hitting random number which locked me out. So now that 7+ says “iPhone Unavailable”. Now my problem is, I have important information in my notes that managed to sync over to my 11, but I can’t open that particular note because I forgot the password. I can’t even change the password because I need to know the old password. I don’t know what to do anymore.

I'm sorry to hear you forgot your password!

Please refer to this link to learn about password protected notes and how to reset the password: How to lock or unlock notes on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support.

Unfortunately you will not be able to access the locked notes without remembering the old password. However, just because you set a new password doesn't mean these notes get deleted. They'll remain in your Notes app and if you eventually remember the password you can recover the contents.

I know this wasn't the answer you wanted to hear, but I hope I was able to help you!

In addition to the spot-on info already provided:

After a few missed attempts, the option to see your password hint - if set - will appear.

Also, there is no “failed attempt” limit. So feel free to keep on trying.

So keep on trying.
