I need to change my Apple ID password back to one I've used before.

Using the same password on multiple accounts, using the same password and never changing it are both examples of poor security. Apple doesn't want to be any more responsible than they already are for data breaches.

That's something you'd need to contact Apple and ask. Ideally, you should never repeat passwords.

You won't be able to change it back to that password until the 12 months have completed, part of the password setting/validation is that you can't reuse passwords within that period.

From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2204 :

• Your password must be at least eight characters including a number, an uppercase letter, and a lowercase letter.
• You can't use spaces, the same character three times in a row, your Apple ID, or a password you've used in the last year.

Well I'm having the same problem as app,e told me to change this as it will help with a problem and it haven't fixed th problem and now I'm stuck with a password that I'm not used to

Is there a way to find out how much time is left? because I don't remember using this password on a very long time.
