Locked Note

I am having trouble unlocking my old notes. I do not remember my old password for the locked notes.

I have reset the password, but that only allows to open new notes.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

That is correct. You cannot change the password of an existing locked note. Only the password that was originally used to lock a note can be used to unlock it. You were told that the first time you locked a note.

See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205794, particularly the “if you forgot your notes password” section.
