Greetings Deleha72,


If you forget the password used tor lock notes, you can reset the password, but that does not grant access to the locked notes. You can learn more here:

Reset your notes password if you forgot it
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.
If you have multiple passwords, you won't be able to tell which password you should use when you look at your Notes list. When you open a note locked by your old password but you enter your current password, you'll see an alert that you entered the wrong password with a hint for your old password. If you enter the correct old password, you get the option to update that note's password to your current one.
Here's how to reset your Notes password:
-In the Settings app, tap Notes. Then tap Password.
-Select the Notes account that you want to change, then tap Reset Password.
-Enter your Apple ID password, then tap OK.
-Tap Reset Password again.
-Enter your new password and password hint. Tap Done.


Take care.
