No, you should be able to losetup (link the file to the loop device)
using the previous passphrase. Then you would mount the loop device and
access your stored data.

Apparently so! What exactly are you doing? See "man losetup" (the
patched one, that is) and try "losetup /dev/loop?" to see what's
attached. Are you trying to use a different loop device? That would not
matter as long as you did "losetup -d device" for the previous one. I
don't know what would happen if 2 loop devices were linked to the same
file.
