Unable to access Notes

I have locked my notes with touch id long time ago but today when I wanted to see the note its asking for password and showing me some random hint which I could not associate with. I tried resetting my password but came to know that new password is for locking/unlocking future notes. Please help

Notes Password I have never set a password for my Notes. Yet, after failed attempts of opening them with Touch ID, the app has asked me to enter a password to open my locked notes. Of course, without a password to enter, I cannot open them. How do I regain access to my locked notes?

Notes password Hi, I am having an issue where I forgot the password for my locked notes and it’s no longer letting me open with my Touch ID. I tried to reset the password but that won’t work for already locked notes. Please help.

Why multiple passwords for locked notes? For over an hour now, I’ve been trying to figure out a password for some notes I have locked. And I tried to reset the password, but I then saw that it didn’t do anything. And all I have to say, what in the actual heck is that. Why give the option to change it, if it can’t reset previously locked notes??? I’m genuinely confused and would actually like to know who made that choice. And I rather not have to delete my notes, I would like an option where I can reset the password and not stress what guesses I made for the password. And why is touch id turned off for it, it defeats the purpose of trying to recover the password :|.

If you relied on Face ID or Touch ID to open the Notes but forgot the actual password then there is nothing anyone can do to unlock the Notes now.
