Alright so, weird thing happened here. I get to the point where I show the 2 guards my letter from Agnus and they ask for the password. I got the password wrong and so they attacked me. However, I was at critical health so i ran off to the nearest campfire to rest up and heal. So now, whenever I go back to the guards they're friendlies again, but I don't have the option to figure out the password again - the only 2 dialogue options available to me are "what are you doing in the sewers" and "later".

Also, the gate is still locked, I imagine because the guards are still standing there, and I can't attack them. Am I screwed for this quest?

Yeah, I think so. If you had looted the corpses before leaving, you would have found a key, and you'd probably be ok. But it looks like now you'll have to go back to an earlier save.

I already got the key from Agnus earlier on though so that's not a problem. Although it's still locked when I try to open the gate and the guards are standing there...

the guards need to get you in, or to be dead to get in
