So yes, i've listened to the people here and went and joined a couple of in-progress games. Now i change the password and download the turn and the game tells me the pass is wrong. whats wrong?

Did you change password by using the change password button in the PBW page? (Right beside your empire spot in the game?)

If so, that only tells the game owner that I've changed my password to think, methinks.

You need to use change password in the game in the empires panel to change it for the game.

i've used the little button... how can i change the pass ingame if i dont know the original pass in first place?

If you sign up as a replacement player, you should get an email with the empire password. If that password does not work, then the previous player changed it and didn't tell the game owner or PBW. At that point, you can either get in touch with the previous player for the password, or have the game owner change the password.
