Hey there,


unfortunately you can’t reset the password, you have to remember it !


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.

Remembering a Password:

No. You need to password to continue Have her look all around your room, and see what comes to mind. As I sat in my timeout room chair in the corner of my room, I looked up at my olde man all ashamed in the face and said to myself, "Oh yeah! I remember now!".

Based on Keywords:

  1. Pet name
  2. Family name
  3. School Name
  4. Favorite place
  5. Teacher's name
  6. Shopping Store
  7. Previous Passwords


Keep a Hardcopy:

Take this as a learning experience, knowing that it is important to keep a handwritten, hardcopy of your password. Have her store it in a private location that only she is aware of, and only she has access to.
