Need some help with sentences please!

1)
did you see the professor today (in the morning)?
(or)
Have you seen the professor today?

2) My new password did not work so I changed it again and it is the old/older (what it was before the new one) one now.

3) My new password did not work so I changed it back to the old/older (what it was before the new one) one.
In the third sentence, can I use "changed it back"?

4) There is a charge for the printed copies. (would "they charge the printed copies" mean the same?)

Thanks in advance!
