You can’t. The first time you created an encrypted note, you were informed that you must remember the password or the note will be lost.


See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205794, particularly this part:


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.
