do you have any recollection of the time that past while this was going on? vs do you have any recollection of the time that passed while this was going on?

Both phrases are correct, but they differ in verb tense. The first phrase uses 'past' as a present participle, while the second phrase uses 'passed' as the past tense of the verb 'pass'. The choice between the two depends on whether you want to emphasize the ongoing nature of the time or the completion of the time period.
