You've likely triggered the automatic lockout. There's a temporary IP ban that gets enabled on an account when someone uses the wrong password too many times, this is in place to prevent brute force hacking of characters.
Changing your password won't affect this lockout, but you will need to use the new password you created when the lockout lifts.
Wait it out, it'll probably only be about 30 minutes. (Unless you got the password wrong a lot of times, in which case it might be an hour or two.)
@Nicola then it'll likely be couple hours, cuz I spammed the login button in frustration. but why did it happen in the first place? Edit: Okay nvm, answer apparent, but I had logged in only about an hour before with the password accepted. So it doesn't make sense to me.
