According to Apple:

To unlock a note, you need to enter the password that it's locked with. If you forgot your notes password, Apple can't help you regain access to your locked notes.


Also worth mentioning:

Beginning in iOS 16, you have two options to lock your notes. You can lock notes with your iPhone passcode or you can create a unique password only for Notes.

Getting Into a Forgotten Locked Note:

You can't. You're out of luck if you cannot get the password. So, take this as a learning experience, knowing to keep a record of all of your passwords.
