Thank you both. I heard back from them about the ticket. I was using characters that trigger it to lock, wasn't aware some would do that. I was able to get back in :).
you need to type it in manually ... sometimes copy/paste doesn't work especially with long passwords
also check that there's no space at the beginning of the box where you enter your password
this happened to me more than once
I changed my password to a temporary password (as per Jellyneo) and it let me back in ok, try contacting them on twitter with your ticket number, it seems to get fixed faster that way
