Both are correct but they have different meanings. #2 is probably the one you intend. Here's an example where #1 would make sense. Imagine that you are playing a game, like croquet, that uses balls. You have to hit your green ball around some obstacles. You say to your friend, "I will hit my ball and make it hit the orange ball." Your friend says, "That's too hard. You can't do it. You'll never make the green ball pass the obstacles." To change #1 so that it means the same as #2, you could say "You'll never succeed in passing the obstacles." or "You'll never pass the obstacles."

The confusion in daily colloquial speaking may stem from the past tense of past = pass homophone - past passed " so sorry I past/passed you by in the street I did not see you"

Both are correct. In daily colloquial speaking and are used interchangeably it depends what you are trying to say and convey 1 pass - to pass = move in a specific direction, to go past something/somebody in one direction leaving that something or person behind. 2 past = gone by in time. in daily colloquial speaking we use past to say we went pass or past somebody or something and left it behind. Such as in overtaking a car, or in sports horse racing football and soccer etc. Grammatically it should according to dictionaries be "you'll never pass the obstacles" But you could argue you'll never go past the obstacles and leave them behind. This is one of many anomalies in the English language when dictionaries are of no value to learners.
