Turning off Note Lock without password

I have my iCloud synched to my notes and I recently changed my password for the "lock" feature via apple ID after forgetting my original notes password. However, every time I try to access my locked notes with the new password, it says that my password is wrong. Is there a way to bypass this and turn get into these locked notes?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 15

Not possible. The first time you locked a note with a password, you were informed that exact password is required to unlock the note. You cannot change the password of an existing locked note. You must remember its password in order to unlock it.
