There is no way to reset it. If you do not remember the password to the Note, you will not be able to open it. From this support document, How to lock notes on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


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.
