  If you get another password from here
  https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
  you can then login to your profile and change it to another if you wish.

  Hi Mark! Thanks for your help, but I was hoping I could change it to my original password (which I am unable to because it says I’ve used the password recently). Would you be able to assist me with it?

  You will have to create a new password, sorry.

  It is for security reasons that we insist on a new password and prevent re-use. Hope you can understand.
