I have forgotten my password but still have my seed. Is there any way I can recover my password?

No, you cannot recover your password. However, you can still recover your money: restore your wallet from its seed, and choose a new password.

If by "masterkey" you mean Master public key then no , that won't help you recover your password or your bitcoins. Unless you have the seed as mentioned above , your bitcoins are lost forever.
If you kept the password in a .txt file for example then you could always try to recover it using some recovery data tools.

if you save the privekey, master key or seed you can get back your wallet.
always save your privekey from all of your wallet is the best option for cryptocoiner  ;)

What exactly did you forget ? The pass phrase you were suppose to write down while making your account ? Or just the system password ?

Case 1 : If you still have the pass phrase,follow the steps mentioned here https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/580

Case 2 : If you don't have your pass phrase I'm afraid nothing much could be done.
