Forgotten Noted Password

I made a locked note a few years ago with a password i no longer remember. I have since tried to reset the notes password but since the specific note doesn’t use face ID I cannot change it.

iPhone 11, iOS 14

You cannot reset a locked notes password unless you know the actual password you used. If you didn't write that password down or use the option to create a password hint when you created the locked note password, that note will remain locked forever and there is no way to ever open it. Things which are important to know in the future, should be written down somewhere safe for future recall.
