When your account is locked, you will not be able to log in -- even with the correct password. This lock lasts about an hour and then will clear on its own.

• Twitter limits the number of times that someone can try logging into an account for security reasons: we don't want to give third-parties unlimited attempts at guessing your password.
• If the number of login attempts exceeds a certain limit, the account is locked down for an hour and additional attempts to log in will fail, even when you supply the correct password.
