notes locked

one of my notes is locked on my phone, that specific one is not on my iCloud. I can't remember that password for the life of me. I have face id set up for it but it is only asking for the password. I did change password but it only changes new passwords and does not change the one I have locked right now. how can I access that, its driving me crazy!

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Forgot password for Locked notes :( I can’t remember a password for my locked notes. It was unlocked with facial recognition (FR) in my old phone. But my old phone broke unexpectedly and I had to get a new one. I signed into my Apple ID, but it won’t unlock with FR. I tried resetting password in settings and it didn’t work for the old locked note. HELP.

Password on notes I had locked notes on my phone (on the app notes) and when I got a new iPhone I could no longer open those locked notes with my Face ID and it asked me for a password. I can’t remember the password because the password I usually use for things isn’t opening the locked notes. Resetting the password only works for new notes you put a lock on. Does anyone know how I would be able to get into old locked notes when I don’t know the password?

The only way to access it is to remember the password you used to encrypt it.

There is no workaround.
