Hi, I created a password to lock a couple of my notes bc they were very personal. However now I can’t remember the password and I need to get to those notes, how should I do?
I read somewhere that if you remove the password feature or i don’t know what to call it, the locked notes gets deleted!

You need to remember the passcode that you used to lock the notes. That is your only option.

Unfortunately, if you forgot the password for the Note, you cannot access the Note. The Note is not deleted though, in case you do remember the password, you can access the Note later.
You can set up a new password for a new Note, but that password will not work for the "old" Note.
For the future, it might be a good idea to write down passwords and keep them in a safe place......just in case.
Unfortunately, you are likely confused about exactly what you think you might have seen.
I will repeat again that you cannot reset the password for a Note or Notes. That is why you do not see a button to do so.
You can create a new password for a new Note, but that password will not help you regarding the "old" Note for which you have forgotten the password.
We will not respond further to this discussion to repeat the same answers again.
I have seen people reset their password but I don’t have that button, I have also seen that that has worked on old notes for people, but as I said I just have “create a new password”.
