Everyone, please remember that after you change the notes password from the old to the new one, you will need to disable/remove “lock notes” or all the locked notes in your Notes account, then re-apply locks on each. And it is only then Notes will update with the new password you just created. Do remember to activate unlocking notes with face ID or touch ID (steps below) as you will need this to do the final step above. I hope this helps.
Troubleshoots:
Please go to Settings, Notes, Password, On My iPhone, Reset password at the bottom, restart your device, make sure you go past the initial pin login, lock your device , and this time it should let you unlock the login to your device with Face ID or Touch ID, if that works the notes should work with one of the above biometrics you have.
If notes is asking for password to remove the lock: Please go to Settings , Notes, Password, iCloud , Use Face ID, do the same for “On my iPhone section of the password too. Then follow steps about starting your device above. I hope this helps. Thanks.
This video is for those whose primary goal is to access their locked note(s) without the forgotten password. Thank you
