I use the package geometry to adjust the page margins for my needs. However,
the first page should be different. To accomplish this, I used \newgeometry,
\restoregeometry which works fine, except that the distance between page
number and margins is also changed (of course). How can I adjust the margins on
the first page differently from the rest, but have the exact same placement of
the page number (so the page mark on page 1 should be placed like the one on
page 3)?
\documentclass[paper=8.5in:11in,twoside]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage[nouppercase]{scrpage2}
\usepackage[bottom=1.1in, left=2in, top=0.6in, right=0.9in]{geometry}
\begin{document}
\newgeometry{bottom=1.1in, left=0.8in, top=0.6in, right=0.6in}% change default geometry settings
Dummy text\dots
\restoregeometry% restore geometry settings
\clearpage
More dummy text\dots
\clearpage
More dummy text\dots
\end{document}
Note that the solution suggested by A.Ellett works for this example. However, I have more things in the footer than just the pagenumber. Here is an example (which I should have provided in the first place). My goal in this example was to move the page number in the margins, but have the rest of the footer aligned with the text. I would like to keep this exactly as on the other pages (page 3), but just change the margins for the rest of the content on the first page.

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage[nouppercase]{scrpage2}

Okay, I realized I should have put a not-so-minimal example up in the first place. Here it is:

\usepackage{lmodern}

\pagestyle{scrheadings}% activates pagestyle from scrpage2

If you use the \newgeometry--\restoregeometry approach, you see how the content of the first page should appear. However, as you can see, the margin for the footer is not identical to the one on, say, page 3. Now, if you use the changepage approach (as given here), you see that the whole page setup seems to get messed up. Also, a new page appears, so the "title page" is not the first one anymore.
