Always asking for password When I got a new iPad it keeps saying must do end to end encryption. I have done this and have deleted the old iPad but it continues to ask for password. How do I solve this?

I need to get back my end to end encrypted data Hello. I recently forgot my phone’s passcode and had to reset my phone. I couldn’t access my old data and had to figure out a way to get my phone but not my old data. I need it back because I had important passwords in my notes that are locked and I can’t get back because it says that “my encryption key wasn’t found”. I’m desperate because I ALSO can’t get my instagram account without the password. I’m losing my mind. I need to get everything back as it was asap.

If you see an option to reset encrypted data, several people have posted that they did that and lost little to no data.
