OneNote2016 Password Protection Password Reset

Hi everyone,

I have made password protection for one Tab in my notebook. Unfortunately  I have forgotten this password.

I could not have found information how to reset this password.

Could you please support me in this matter?

Thanks in advance :)

BR,

Piotr.

Now forget the section. Sorry for my sarcasm, but no one can help you. Really.

P.S.:

In contrast to a login PW the section PW gets only used as key for encryption and is stored nowhere.

I only tried to explain why the request "reset my password" works for the widely used type of password, the login password. Because it's stored in a database. And this is, I assume, why many people (and you) think a reset of the Onenote section password is possible.

But this is wrong. Because it's stored nowhere.
