locked note

I set up a bunch of notes on my iphone7 using touch id (the phone never asked for a password when locking...just my touch id). Now when those notes have been transferred to my new iphone XS max i'm being asked for a password. None of my previous apple ids will work. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

iPhone XS Max, iOS 13

There's no way to restore them without the password. If you transfer from one phone to another it will use the Apple ID password when the lock was first set. You can keep trying passwords but there's definitely no way to unlock the notes without the password.
