LOCKED NOTE

I have an issue with a password protected note in the Notes App. I forgot the password and the hint I created is no longer meaningful - I forgot what it relates to. I want to delete the note but I need the password to delete it. Is there a way to delete a locked note without using the password. I don't use Touch ID or Face Recognition.

iPad, iOS 10
