You need to use that "note" specific password.

See this support page about that:--> Lock your notes on iPhone – Apple Support (UK)

The password for that particular note HAS to be entered.


That is the ONLY way to access the note.


FaceID is only an aid to keep you from having to enter it so often … but much like your device passcode you still must know it (or have access to it)


There is no reset or workaround. There is no help Apple can provide as the password is effectively “part” of the note itself.


Hopefully, a meaningful hint was added when the password was set.


There is no limit on the number of “failed attempts” … just keep in trying.
