if you don't know the password that your note was locked with.. you will not be able to access it..
if you just want to reset the password for future notes

no, you will not be able to access the note without the password. If you try incorrectly a couple of times, I think it might present a password hint (if you set one up when creating the password that is)
thank you again
it's really a big problem.
Well, there is another matter, my iphone used to ask me for a fingerprint, but with the recent update of iOS 14.4.1, he no longer asked for it and only wanted the password. Why does this happen?
Notes uses reliable AES data encryption, and the password is the decryption key to that data.
Which leaves you to break AES data encryption, or to brute-force the password, or to remember the password.
An AES break would be quite newsworthy, which leaves you to find or to recall the password.
Finding the password through brute-force means can take days or weeks or years or centuries, depending on the robustness of the password.
Apple used a reliable encryption design to protect this data.
In short, no password, no data.
The fingerprint and Touch ID is a proxy for the iPhone password.
The iPhone password must be entered after booting, and at intervals after that, as determined by some different factors.
Your data encryption key for your iPhone data is your passcode, while Touch ID or Face ID is a proxy for that passcode.
Touch ID and Face ID are a means to reduce how often you have to enter the passcode, but are not a replacement.
Touch ID and Face ID do allow you choose a more robust passcode.
But Touch ID and Face ID do not replace the passcode.
one thing to keep in mind:
the use of your fingerprint to unlock your notes.. this is a convenience thing to make life easier and access quicker, it does not replace the password. Certain things will require password re-entry.
Similarly, just because you use your fingerprint to unlock your iPhone, you cannot forget your passcode.

so how I can to break the AES data? Is this available? How?
AES encryption is used by governments, militaries, and many if not most organizations.
An AES crack would rip the foundations from underneath computing and data security.
The best known attack on AES at present still takes billions of years.
Without that note password, your data is is inaccessible.
Thank you so much for your help
Is there any way to access the notes because I wrote a lot of my information in it?

You are right, but due to my reliance on fingerprint only over the past years, unfortunately, I forgot my password due to the lack of use.
