Notes app says wrong password, but passsword is correct

I'm trying to lock a new note but either macbook and iphone Notes apps are saying Notes password is wrong, when I enter this pass in old locked notes, I can unlock them, and yesterday was the last day I locked a note (with the same password and I can unlock it, but no new notes since today)

I dont have two step verification process, and didn't do any changes in settings in icloud.


I dont know what to do


also Face ID worked yesterday but today dont, and entering manually the pass works!


In iOS settings/note/password, I'm trying to change it but says this password is not correct, how can be this when I can use it for the notes locked before today???


I use a special formula for passwords, is impossible to forget one, and if I accidentally change one, this would be the same as before! as I do always same maths


thanks

iPhone 11

hi, I could reset Notes password, I used the same as before, so old locked notes and new ones works with the same pass (obviously here is a software bug, very important as is related to password/protected information)


reset password as says here
