I have a feeling that he'll apologize to her when he learns that she went to jail to save HIS sister. That's when his sorry will be heartfelt and sincere. That's when he'll realize she isn't selfish as he thought she was... a poignant moment.. could mark the beginning of their love story.
Until then he's gonna try getting her to change the password any way he can. Asking nicely didn't work so now he's trying to intimidate her as we saw in the precap... Male dominance as you said.. and Zoya seemed taken aback by this move, which is probably why she seems a little nervous.
