Old notes lock on Mac I put a lock on a note and forgot the password. When I tried to change it, my mac told me to update first. After I updated and then tried to change the lock it allowed me to change the password but when I put in the new password on the old note it didn't unlock the note and told me that it is incorrect. I tried to remove the password for good and still the note was locked and would not unluck for any password, not my iCloud one, MacBook login password, or the custom note password. Why is nothing removing this lock?
