Is there any way I can recover a password which it appears I have forgotten? Its only Turn 2 but I do feel like a giant moron...
I have never heard of a way. And have forgotten the password myself, in a new game.

Use the same password for all your games, and make the password one you can never forget.
You can open the game file with a text editor, it will be encrypted but should look something like this for a PzC file

This is from an El Alamien and the OOB lists the allies first.
The second line is the password for the Allied player, line 3 is the Axis, it is encrypted but you can see how many letters are in it so that might help you remember.
I have a file called game passwords where I put my pbem passwords when I start a game as some of my opponents are slow to return files, something I don't have a problem with but at my age my short term memory is not what it used to be.
