When I tried to open the old locked notes I am not able to open as Face ID is not showing up and I don’t remember the old password. Please provide options for this it’s really pain in the heart to loose the content of the important notes. Even willing to pay for the options.

You will need to remember the original password or you won't be able to unlock the note.
You can change you Note password, but 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.

I just can’t believe it as it’s all about some software or some code or some feature which they don’t want to explore or give additional features to us. If we put in the multiple request to Apple. We should have this option for sure is my view.
