How can I recover my notes password from an old phone

I recently traded in my iPhone XR for a iPhone 14 pro max and forgot my password. Nothing seems to worth for the notes password and my Face ID doesn’t pop up for the older notes

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

Recovering Note Passwords:

What the passcode is, is anybody's guess. So, if you have it written down somewhere, or a digital file of it, then, you can retrieve it that way. Elsewise, it is locked.
