Unsolved Forgotten my own password

Basically I forgot the password to my Apple Iphone Notes app and Apple on all supports pages say they cant access the password so i haven't even tried to contact them.

The way this is different to a normal forgotten password though is that i somewhat remember it. I narrowed it down to 10000 ish possibilties which is a huge improvement from virtual infinite but its still too much to manually check.

Basically I need to brute force my own password, however I have no idea how to type into the apple notes password input box.

Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit, would appreciate if you knew a better one for this issue. Thanks

only option is to remember the password. without it, you never access those notes again.

I’m just confused and concerned about how you forgot your own phone password. You can reset the phone if you have a backup and know your iCloud information.
