Hi there saachiv,


From what we can tell, you forgot the password for a locked note on your iPhone, and Face ID isn't working to unlock it. We're glad you're here, and we can provide some guidance.


"To unlock a note, you need to enter the password that it's locked with. If you forgot the password, Apple can't help you regain access to your locked notes. You can create a new password, but this won’t give you access to your old notes. A new password will let you password protect any notes that you create going forward with the new password." Have a look at the 'If you forgot your notes password' section of this support article to learn more:
