#5: How about
UNDOME, meaning 'evendim', or twilight? The derivation would be:
'Gold. Used up, like bread.' -- [A]u, chemical symbol for gold sliced from one end.
'Jumbled closure.' -- 'end' is in the final five letters.
??? -- somehow get 'om' in there too.
The only other time-related U-word I can find is
UIAL (morning twilight), which could be obtained as an anagram of
laurie (Quenya 'golden') with most of the end chopped off.

#1: That sounds like a clue for
Elemmire, which suggests your clue uses 'element' for substance, so an anagram of 'element' plus a vowel. Which... I... can't find. :-/ Closest I can come is
MENELYA (Q. 'Wednesday'), which has ELEM[e]N[t] + A.
#2: 'ah, you, they call back' = ends with UR? It almost has to start with a vowel, too, given its place in the password... the best possibility I can find is
ARANDUR, sounds like 'around'; Sindarin for Steward, with the Steward Mardil having reformed the Gondorian calendar.
