How do I reset my password in the Notes app?

I got a new phone and can no longer unlock my locked notes. Can I reset the password? I had it connected to Face ID on my old phone.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

You may reset your Notes password, but that reset password would apply only to future notes. Existing notes can never be unlocked without the existing password.
