notes password forgotten

I forgot my notes password, and could not remember it at all. They contain important stuff and I was always used to open them using face-id. Is there anyway I can recover the password for the current locked notes?


Thank you

From the article below.


To unlock a note, you need to enter the password that it's locked with. If you forgot the password, Apple can't help you regain access to your locked notes. You can create a new password, but this won’t give you access to your old notes. A new password will let you password protect any notes that you create going forward with the new password.
