Re: passwd changing
you can change it (although I advice keeping the value as it is) by editing /etc/default/security file and changing the variable PASSWORD_HISTORY_DEPTH
UNIX because I majored in cryptology...

Re: passwd changing
That seems pretty self explanatory to me. You can't use a password you have used before. That is a good security practice.
For more information on the "PASSWORD_HISTORY_DEPTH" parameter in the /etc/default/security file, do a 'man security' and look for that section of the man page.

Re: passwd changing
To avoid that message.
Pick a password that is different from the previous one or the current one you are using.

Re: passwd changing
keep chaning few times.
repeat passwd root few times, till it is difft from the previous one and finally set it to the one you want.
if its the trusted system, then you need to manually clear the fields in /tcb/files/auth/r
vi that file and clear u_pwd
