Thanks for trying but it won't let me, I'm completely locked out.

I have an iPhone 8 Plus which only has Touch ID and I've tried to guess the password too many times so it doesn't even give me an option to use my Touch ID.

The only reason why I haven't remembered this password for the note is because I've only ever had to use my Touch ID and the hint says iPad Password but I have literally tried every single password I have thought of and I am getting very frustrated.

Is there any other way to remove the lock?

Do you REALLY think of it was that SIMPLE there would be this many threads on the subject???

Yoire definitely miserable & misery might like company.... but I ain’t the one.

Stop spreading your negativity!!!

If you don’t have anything nice to say, then ay Nothing.

Geez.

Literally THAT SIMPLE

easy peasy

The same thing is happening to me.. when i create the notes they ask for touch Id .. and now when I want to view notes they are only asking the password (which i dnt know) not the touch id ... please help

Hi, I am struggling with this issue too. Could you perhaps explain your solution in just a little more detail?

The "Apple Recommended" post at the top of every page has fairly detailed instructions.

I do not have any memory of ever even setting a password for Notes; I had locked them with solely Touch ID. My fingers were dirty and my Touch ID wouldn’t work, so after trying a few times, I had to fill in a password. But if I have no password, how do I regain access to my locked notes?

I had the same problem after updating my phone my Face ID wasn’t working and had my forgotten passwordto my locked notes and all the other suggestions didn’t work but what worked was moving the locked notes to another folder, then my Face ID worked and the good thing about another folder it uses a different password than the previous file so u can set a new password for the new folder you are moving them to. I hope this helps

i actually am panicking i forgot my notes pass for locked notes and the face id isn't working anymore. those notes were important and not i can't even reset it or anything please please find something to at least getting my notes back

The way that I fixed the same problem was, I had to go unlock the notes on my old phone with my finger print and copy and paste the note into a new note. Then the note will automatically come up on you new phone, unlocked, and then you can set a new password for the note and lock it. Hope this helps!

Same , I’m litterally going crazy . I think u should try getting and old iPhone . Like the 4 or 5 since they have less security and try to backup ur phone their and see if your notes unlock. I’ll update it this works

If you have the iPhone with the Face ID you can also set new password for your notes with the reset password thing and then open locked notes with face ID then remove the password and set it again.

It worked for me

I don’t know if this will work or if any of you guys still have your old devices. But I just tried to remove the lock from my notes on my old device and it worked! If your new device is connected and all your notes were saved to the Cloud, it should work. Then you can just add a new lock if you wanted and that lock will be with your new password. Just be sure to write it down this time LOL!

TL;DR • Enter Locked Notes on Old Device -> Remove Lock (in the right upper hand corner click the three ••• and then “Remove Lock”) -> BOOM should have access from there!

And if you want to keep it locked and you changed to password, just add a new lock and it should work with the new password!

Hope this was clear but if you need clarification, lmk!

Is there seriously still not an option to reset the password without knowing the old password?!?! I switched from touch ID to face ID and cannot remember my password for the note to save my life... this is a HUGE oversight

I found a solution to this problem. All you have to do is to unlock all your locked notes, then go to settings and reset the password, put a new one and that's all. Now you know your new password, just write it some where so you don't forget it again!
