How do I unlock 'Locked Attachment' images in a password-protected note on iPhone and Mac?

I have a note that is locked. From both my phone and macbook, I enter the password, and I can access the note. However, the images that I saved now say "Locked Attachment" and when I click on the image, it prompts me to enter a password with a box that says, "This attachment is locked using a previous password".


From my iCloud account, I can also see the text, but only blank squares where the pictures used to be. There is no prompt for a password. This happened when I switched from an iphone 15 to a 17pro.

Original Title: Note attachement locked

The previous passcode is possibly the passcode you used on your iPhone 15.
