What browser are you using? There was an issue with Firefox - it was automatically retrying the log-on (and extending the lock-out period).
So you can try looking in it's settings and deleting the password. Updating FireFox might also help (one other user reported it did). Or switch to a different browser to gain access.
Either way you'll need to wait for 5 minutes before trying again.
