Notes password

I have one password to lock Notes. It works either by typing it or face ID. I can access my Notes either on my computer or cell. The problem is I cannot lock any other Note bc it says that the password is wrong. But I can access my other Notes typing it.

If you have multiple passwords, you won't be able to tell which password you should use when you look at your Notes list. When you open a note locked by your old password but you enter your current password, you'll see an alert that you entered the wrong password with a hint for your old password. If you enter the correct old password, you get the option to update that note's password to your current one.

Thank you for your response. But, I have not created a new password for Notes. I only have 1 password and that one is not working to lock a new Note. That is the issue I am facing. When I try to update the password, it asks me for my old one and when I type it, it does not recognize it. Don't know what to do next.
