Apple Notes locked

Ive only used face ID for my locked notes, but after updating it it requires a password. I dont have a password, is there any way to access those notes?

The password to the note is the decryption key, secure data encryption was used, and there’s no backdoor.


So, no. No access.


Not without remembering the password, either directly, or remembered from the (optional) password hint, or maybe remembered by looking at other passwords you chose around the same time.
