I forgot my Notes password and Face ID isn't working to unlock it

hello, I don't know what notes password I set and I can't change it, how to unlock it?

Because when I locked it, only face ID was needed, now it doesn't work

Hey there,


To unlock a note, you need to enter the password that it's locked with. If you forgot your notes password, Apple can't help you regain access to your locked notes. You can create a new notes password or use your device passcode instead, but this won’t give you access to your old notes. If you set a new notes password or switch to your device passcode, you can protect any notes that you create going forward with the new password.
