Is there any way to get around the arbitrary ban on repeating a password within a year?

I just want to figure out how to change my password to one that was my password less than a year prior. Why is this requirement in place when Apple has no requirement that passwords be changed annually? It seems that any added security benefit would be negligible and the mandate is excessive and unwarranted. Is there any way to avoid this requirement?
