Resetting it only applies to new notes you make going forward. You cannot reset the password on an already locked note. You must remember it. You can keep trying indefinitely though as there is no limit to the guesses.

“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.”
