In brute forcing the notes password with an automation tool to put a password in the login box like you would type it, you must take into account the Notes delay mechanism. Each subsequent invalid password causes an increase in the response time. This was done to slow down brute force attacks and render them nearly useless. I can not recall if this is an issue when using the Notes API.
