Forgot Password for Locked Notes

I forgot my locked notes password. How do I reset or retrieve it? The reset password doesn’t work unless you have the old password.

iPhone XS, iOS 15

You have to remember the password. From the article below.


If you forgot your notes password


To unlock a note, you need to enter the password that it's locked with. If you forgot the password, Apple can't help you regain access to your locked notes. You can create a new password, but this won’t give you access to your old notes. A new password will let you password protect any notes that you create going forward with the new password.
