There is a hint that was created by you for locked Notes, please use them. If you do not have one then please keep trying various passwords known to you.


There is no way of resetting the Notes password, however, you can create a new password for the new Notes that you would lock or create.


The only option that you have is to keep trying as there is no limit on the number of attempts.


However, you can set a new password for your new notes, but for the old notes, you need to get the old password only.
