Forgotten notes password

Why locked notes cannot be accessed after resetting new password as we forgot the password.. can this be fixed we will lock the notes for security purposes and we forgot the password that human nature … can this be issue can be fixed it’s very imp notes. I can see too many people are having this issue .. I think you should consider this. There is no use if yu lock old notes which is very imp to users

If the notes are locked with an "old" password; you have to unlock them with that password.

Human nature should also be..............write down passwords somewhere safe or use a password manager.

Reading multiple posts in this community about forgotten passwords and activation locks.........

...... far too many people only rely on their own memory.
