I can't unlock a note in Notepad on my iPhone8

Hello,

I updated my phone and when I tried to unlock a locked note in Notepad, it suddenly asked me for a passcode. Up until now, I've been using my 'thumb ID'. I must have tried 100 different options, even with the 'hint' it gives me, I still can't get it. Is there any way to override this setting?

iPhone 8, iOS 14

Lost Password to Notes App Can’t switch settings to Facial ID Upgraded my iPhone 8to an IPhone 13. I used to unlock my locked notes in the Notes app by using my thumbprint so it’s been ages since I’ve used a password and can’t remember it to switch the settings to use facial ID. I really need information from a locked note. What can I do to reset it without the password???
