That is not possible. You will need to keep trying until you remember the password that you chose when you created that note.

Particularly this portion:


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. You can create a new notes password or use your device passcode instead, but this won’t give you access to your old notes.
