You cannot. There is no way to reset a locked notes password. You will have to remember it if you ever wish to open those locked notes.

If you forgot your notes password

To unlock a note, you need to enter the password that it's locked with. If you forgot the password, Apple can't help you regain access to your locked notes. You can create a new password, but this won’t give you access to your old notes. A new password will let you password protect any notes that you create going forward with the new password.”
