Unlock notes iPhone

I locked some notes on my phone but for a few weeks now (can’t remember which iOS update it was) I can no longer unlock it. I tried resetting note password in the settings but it won’t work. Every time I try to open it goes straight to password (it doesn’t allow faceID) and no matter what password I try it fails to unlock. Some of these notes were quite important to me and it would be upsetting to lose it.

iPhone XS, iOS 15

You'll need to use the password under which you locked the note. You have unlimited attempts to try the password
