Can anyone help me? I shared a document that I created with Pages in iCloud and created a password for it. However, I now don't remember that password.

Unless it was a very simple password, you are out of luck. iWork documents are encrypted using AES with a key derived using PBKDF2. Practically impossible to crack (unless - maybe - you are the NSA).

You might could use Time Machine or Revert To and retrieve a copy before you added the password.
