Unable to access locked Notes after password reset on iPhone

I am writing to bring your attention to an issue I’m facing with my Notes. I have forgotten the password used to lock some important notes. I attempted to reset the password, but it does not allow access to the previously locked notes. As a result,Please help to recover the notes

Correct you can only change password for new notes. You can access those notes if you enter the correct password.
