I believe you’re saying the following:

  • You have created some notes that are locked using your iPad passcode.
  • You want to reset the protection on these notes to now use a password instead of that iPad passcode.
  • You said “I’m following directions” … however …


I don’t see any such directions in the article linked above! I don’t know that this is possible. Would you please tell us what directions you are specifically using? I do see directions to go the other way - from the Notes password to a passcode.
