There's quite a bit of information out in google-world about notes .id 
files but i'll summarize:

- Notes uses a public/private key exchange for authentication
- .ID files are the private keys secured with the password
- Using the notes library, tools like IPR (link provided earlier) work 
with a dictionary
- There are a few commercial tools available that do dic/hybrid style 
attacks.

I've had limited success with either IPR or LNkey unless the password is 
in one of my dictionaries. YMMV.
