URGENT The notes password is not working -

I am entering the corect password on my locked notes and I cannot access them.


Idiotic WHY Apple suddenly asked for password, instead of Face ID.


I have LOTS!!! of important information now locked.


Tried to reset iCloud password already, tried multiple times the password from different devices I own including Mac, iCloud...

If you use a unique password for Notes, there is no way to access your locked notes if you forget the password. If you forget this password, you can reset your notes password and use your new password to lock other notes. If you access your iCloud notes on more than one Apple device, use the same notes password to lock and unlock all of them.

Apple doesn't have access to locked notes and can’t help you access them if you forget your notes password. If you forget your notes password, resetting the password doesn’t give you access to previously locked notes. If you reset then create a new notes password, that only allows you to lock other notes.
