What YouTube steps did you follow previously?
No, Apple has not changed anything. As long as locked notes have existed, you needed the password and there is no way to circumvent it.. You can use Face/Touch ID for convenience, but behind that has always been a password.
As the article you came here from comments, you can reset the password for locking notes, but that is for new locked notes going forward. It does not get you into your previously locked notes.
Now if you reset your notes password, then unlock one of those old notes using the correct password, I believe it will prompt you if you'd like it to change to the new password. But that means you knew the password to unlock the old notes.

Without that passcode, the note will remain locked forever.
Read the article linked above.
You can only unlock a note with the password used to lock it.
You can keep guessing, should not lock you out from too many guesses.
Did apple recently change that? I have unlocked it before following steps on YouTube?
