I can't remember the password to my notes

I recently got a new iphone and I can't remember the password to my notes in my notes app. It was done with facial recognition. How can I get into those locked notes?

It stinks, but you're out of luck friend.

Specifically the quotes:


"After you lock a note, it's automatically protected with your password on all your devices. If you use Face ID or Touch ID to unlock notes on your other devices, you must enter your password, then enable Face ID or Touch ID on the device you're using."


"You can unlock a note only when you enter the password that it's locked with. If you forgot your password, Apple can't help you regain access to your locked notes."


If you still have the other phone, you can try changing the password using the article I shared above.
