I forgot the password to my locked notes on the note app but when I restarted the password it still required the old password in order to view it, how can I see the notes contents and make a copy of it if it is locked

Is there any way to look at the contents of a locked note if you forgot the password for it

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

With every other app and even with an Apple ID there is an option to recover a forgotten password. I would like to encourage Apple to rectify the problem of forgotten passwords with Notes. I didn't realize FaceID could fail with a note and have lost a very important note as a result.
