i forgot my password to unlock my personal one note notebook sect

[am]

i forgot my password to unlock my personal one note notebook section. Is
there a way to reset the password without knowing your old password and
without losing data?

Unfortunately no ;(

If it were easy for the normal end user to do s, then it is easier for an
attacker to do so as well.

I DO feel bad for our poor friend here, but this is a feature that I
particularly appreciate about OneNote. I have a couple of password protected
sections, and they are quite useful. As well, when you first create a
password, I remember thinking that the warning ON gives about not forgetting
or losing the password is appropriately strong.

I have bank account numbers and credit card numbers in mine so I sure hope
it can't be easily reset.
