'You've tried to sign in too many times with incorrect account/password'
I am continuing to get a 'You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect account of password' error despite recently changing my password. The only way around this is to use my cell phone ...
It sounds like your Microsoft account is temporarily locked out because you tried too many times and failed. Don't try to log in for 24 to 48 hours, then log in once with the right information. It usually fixes itself.
I'm having exactly the same problem. This has been going on for a couple of weeks now, despite changing the password. And I can only leave this message by signing into an old email account. I have cleared all cached files etc. I'm having the same problem on my mobile phone.
