How To Restore Forgotten Password Of Notes On iPhone And Mac?

To restore a forgotten password for Notes on your iPhone and Mac, follow these steps:

For iPhone and iPad:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Scroll down and tap "Notes".
3. Under Passwords, tap "Password" (not "Change Password").
4. Tap "Reset Password."
5. Enter your Apple ID password when prompted.
6. Create a new password and provide a password hint.
7. Tap "Done" to save the new password.

This process resets the password for newly created locked notes; previously locked notes will remain encrypted under their existing passwords until manually changed. However, once you've reset the password, you can move your old locked notes to a new folder and then unlock them with the new password.

For Mac:

1. Launch the Notes app.
2. From the menu bar, go to Notes > Settings.
3. Click "Reset Password," located near the bottom right corner of the Notes preferences window.
4. Enter your Apple ID password when prompted.
5. Set a new password and include a password hint.
6. Click "Set Password" to finalize the reset.

Remember, resetting the password does not grant immediate access to your previous locked notes; you would need to manually update each individual note's password to match the new one.
