How can I recover my locked notes if I forgot the password?

Hi, I have my Notes Locked and it was nearly 2 months and I didn’t access to my locked notes which i was accessing using my Face ID. It was a important note and I had to open it recently and I have forgotten my password and Even though the Hint I am unable to get it right. I have reset the password which I can use it for the new notes but not the Old Locked notes.

Is there any way to RECOVER because it is an important note.

The ONLY way to recover a locked note is to enter the correct password. Face ID is not now, nor has it EVER been a replacement for passwords. Face ID is simply a convenience. If this locked note was important, you should have written the password down somewhere for easy recall. Did you? When you created the locked notes password, you were given the opportunity to create a password hint. Did you?

The fact is the locked note password is encrypted on your phone and ONLY on your phone. There is NO bypass for this. You can guess as many times as you want, but until you enter the correct password, the note will remain locked forever.

No.

Until you remember the password you used to lock it, it can’t be accessed.
