First, tap the <strong>Settings app<\/strong> (it looks like a gear). Then, scroll down until you spot &#034;Notes&#034; &#8211; just like finding your favorite candy in a candy store!<\/p>\n<p>Once you tap Notes, you&#039;ll see a special &#034;Password&#034; button waiting for you.

First, open your <strong>Notes app<\/strong> (it&#039;s the one with the yellow notepad!).<\/p>\n<p>Click on Notes at the top of your screen, then Settings. You&#039;ll find a button that says &#034;Reset Password&#034; &#8211; it&#039;s like finding the X on your treasure map!<\/p>\n<p>When you click it, you&#039;ll need to type in your <strong>iCloud password<\/strong> if you use one.
