Resetting locked Notes does not change the old Notes' password but will be used for all future locking of Notes. Learn more about --> keeping your notes secure with password-protection. (Please read the section "Change the Notes Password" & If you forget your notes password")


In your case, you have forgotten the new password but remember the old one.


I would suggest that you reset the password again using the password that you remember. (Watch the GIF below) The only issue would be that if you had locked some Notes using the new password, which you do not remember, will have to be opened with the new password only.
