I’ve been using Face ID to access my notes and I just upgraded my phone and transferred all of the data. Now instead of letting me into the note with Face ID I need the original password that I have never needed and I’ve tried everything I can think of😥. What do I do.
iPhone 14
Unfortunately, there is no option to reset the Notes password. However, you have the option to create a new password for the new notes you wish to lock or create.
The only course of action available is to continue trying different passwords, as there is no limit to the number of attempts.
You may know that Face ID / Touch IDs cannot be transferred from one device to another. Therefore, to ensure smooth access to your imported notes on your new iPhone, it is important to link the password to the new Touch ID/Face ID feature.
During the setup of your previous device, it is likely that you created a password and enabled Touch ID/Face ID for enhanced security. Consequently, any notes created on that device would exclusively rely on Touch ID/Face ID authentication. Consequently, it is highly possible that you have forgotten the password by now.
If you set a hint for locked notes, please utilize it to aid in recalling the password. If you didn't set a hint, you can attempt various passwords that you are familiar with.

I have a quick question. The phone I had the Face ID for the notes app was traded into a Verizon store for a apple trade in deal. If I was to call and they somehow still had the phone and I was able to sign back into my iCloud on that phone would I be able to use Face ID to unlock the notes app?
