Is there a way to recover a password from a locked note on Notes?

I forgot my password for a locked Note and that Note is super important to me. I just want to see if there is anything I can do to get the password back! I used to be able to just sign in with my thumb ID but it suddenly stopped letting me use that and I have no idea why.

iPhone 8, iOS 14

No, there isn’t. You can set a new password, but that will not unlock the notes with the forgotten password. You can read more here.
