Password-protected sections that are locked are not included in notebook searches. Take care when adding passwords to your notebook sections and when changing them. If you forget any of your section passwords, no one will be able to unlock those notes for you (not even Microsoft Technical Support).

OneNote uses encryption to secure password-protected sections. Make sure that the Caps Lock key is off before you apply or enter a password. Passwords can be applied to one or more notebook sections, one at a time, but you cannot protect individual pages within sections or protect an entire notebook at once. If you forget your password, no one will be able to unlock your notes for you - not even Microsoft Technical Support. Note: Choose and type your passwords carefully.
