Not possible. The custom password is something only you would know. Currently when locking a note, you have the option to use your device Passcode to unlock it or the more secure method of creating a custom password where there is no option to view the note without that password.
Apple doesn't have access to locked notes and can’t help you access them if you forget your notes password. If you forget your notes password, resetting the password doesn’t give you access to previously locked notes. If you reset then create a new notes password, that only allows you to lock other notes.
