Locked Out of Notes

I don't remember ever setting a notes password, I locked them with face ID. Now Face Id wont work and I don't ever recall creating a password for it.

I went to "reset password" in the notes settings of the phone the notes are on, and it let me, i updated some sort of password, but i still can't access any notes.

If I can't recover the password, why isn't Face ID working? Any ideas on how to get that to work again?

And what did the note password reset, reset?

Thank you.

From the article below.

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.
