If you recall your device passcode, you may be able to access your notes.


If you locked them with a custom password, you will not be able to access them.

If you've forgotten the password for your locked notes and can't use Touch ID on your new iPhone, you might need to follow these steps:


  1. Access Password-Protected Notes:

- Open the "Notes" app on your new iPhone.

- Locate the locked note and tap on it.

- You should see a prompt to enter the password. Since you've forgotten the password, you'll need to use another method.


2. Reset the Password:

- Tap on the "Forgot Password?" or a similar option (the exact wording might vary).

- You might be prompted to enter the Apple ID password associated with your iCloud account.


3. Use iCloud Account Password:

- Enter your Apple ID password when prompted. This is the password associated with your iCloud account.

- This should allow you to reset the password for your locked notes.


4. Access the Note:

- Once you've reset the password, you should be able to access the locked note using the new password.


Please note that this process relies on your Apple ID password, and it's essential to use the Apple ID associated with your iCloud account. If you face difficulties, consider checking Apple's official support documentation or contacting Apple Support for more specific guidance based on the latest iOS version and features available at the time.
