how do I recover my notes password?
You can’t. The first time you created an encrypted note, you were informed that you must remember the password or the note will be lost.
See https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205794, particularly this part:
If you forgot your notes password
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.
