Notes

When I got my new iPhone the notes in the app have locks on them. And when I switched over it kept them locked and I don’t know the old password. I tried resetting the password but it is only for any new notes you want to lock. Is there any way to reset the old password, so I can go in and look at those notes?

Password on notes I had locked notes on my phone (on the app notes) and when I got a new iPhone I could no longer open those locked notes with my Face ID and it asked me for a password. I can’t remember the password because the password I usually use for things isn’t opening the locked notes. Resetting the password only works for new notes you put a lock on. Does anyone know how I would be able to get into old locked notes when I don’t know the password?

You can not reset the password on existing notes.

If you can't remember the password you used to lock them, they are completely unreadable.
