Q: Restore my password

I have forgotten my passowrd and had to reset it.

I then wanted to change my password back to my first one.

Why is this not allowed.

My first password is the only one that I want to use. I don't want to have to remember an additional password.

Please fix this and allow users to change their password to whatever they want.

Thanks.

Are you talking about an Apple ID password rather than that for a user account on a Mac? If so, you cannot re-use a password, I believe for a year, as a security measure.
