I don't think so. If you don't have your password or 2FA anymore, you would need your seed to restore your wallet without a password and be able to spend your coins. Having the 2FA won't help you with anything.

Better to check and type carefully your password since yesterday your password is working and maybe you are just forgot some few character better to try to think deeply and try and try until you get the exact password.. or try to reinstall the your electrum wallet remove all but first backup the wallet.dat from C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\Electrum\wallets
Backup it and reinstall electrum and import the wallet.dat and try your password you use yesterday. .
If not only seeds can recover it if you haven't them its impossible to recover your wallet..

If your password worked yesterday, but not today then it is possible you are just trying to open a different wallet file... Electrum allows multiple wallet files to be created, so maybe you're just trying the wrong one?

When you first start Electrum and it asks for the password, double check the name of the wallet... and possibly try clicking "Choose" and see if there is another wallet file listed.

since you have a good idea what the password is you can try this script to brute force the rest for you:

On a side note, suppose I lost my Electrum (seed) password, but I could retrive it eventually.

Now, I don't know if someone else could have had access to it, so it must be insecure to keep using that wallet with that seed.

Should I recreate a new one in Electrum and transfer all funds ASAP to this new one?

If you want to make sure your seed wasn't somehow compromised, then there is no problem in doing that.

Just make sure to never lose your seed. That's the one thing you need to know.

Yes that sounds like a good precautionary step to take. Here's how you can create a new wallet: https://bitcoinelectrum.com/creating-an-electrum-wallet/
