No you can’t. If you cannot remember the password to the notes, there is no way to unlock them. The text below was copied from this Apple support article.

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.
