Forgot Numbers file password

I created and used a Numbers file on my old iPhone. I locked it with a password and face id. Every time, when I opened it with face id without using password. The file was saved on iCloud drive. Then I changed my iPhone and transferred my files. But when I try to open that numbers file in my new iPhone, it requires me to input a password but unfortunately I have forgotten the password. Because I used to open it with face id. Is there anyway to open that file with Face ID to reset the password? It contains very important data. Thank you for your help

The only way to decrypt the data is with the password, and there is no password reset mechanism, no back door, and the password is not saved anywhere.
