You can never apply for a passport, until you apply for naturalisation and your get it.

I suggest you search this forum for naturalisation requirements and procedures. There is a very good FAQ thread on this forum. Go, find it, and then ask if you have any doubts.

When did you apply for ILR and when was it granted?

If your ILR case was protracted at no fault of your own then you may apply from November 2013 assuming you meet the other requirements and are not the spouse/civil partner of a British Citizen.
