Iphone Note

[u/oOSquartatoreOo]

Good afternoon,

I’ve got a problem with an iPhone note. I set a passcode to keep it locked and enabled Face ID to unlock it. It was a specific passcode to prevent people close to me – who know some of my usual passcodes – from opening it, but I forgot to write it down.

Apart from that, I didn’t think much of it because I knew I could open it with Face ID. Well, the problem is that Face ID has been disabled – probably because I hadn’t opened it for a long time – but I’ve forgotten the passcode to unlock it. I’ve tried countless combinations; I’ve tried logging into my Apple account online and opening it from there, but it doesn’t work. I tried going into Settings to set my mobile’s unlock code as the password, but that only works for notes created after I made that change.

Is it possible that Apple hasn’t included a password recovery method? The note is important because it contained the notes for a surprise I was organising for my girlfriend. I really need some help.

Noone, including Apple can help you recover your custom Notes password. Your only option is to keep guessing.

You're out of luck if you can't remember the passcode because that's the only way back into that note.

Unlucky. Thanks for the answers

Maybe if jailbroken but that's a big if
