A few possibilities where this has been seen in the past.

Multiple failures logging on(yourself, email software, someone else trying to use your account) with an incorrect password.

Have you tried resetting your password ? Did you provide an alternate email address for such purposes ?

I have the same problem!

I haven't set an alternative email address in my hotmail account. So how
long do I have to wait until I can sign in?

Thanks!

I have already done that through the hotmail support, but I am still get the same message You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect e-mail address or password. (Frustrating that all of the support issues ask you to log in, when that IS the issue.)

Is there a time period I should wait before trying again?

48 hrs might be a good window..
If not resolved, go back to the Windows Live Solution Center and reply in the same thread with an update regarding your problem.

I am being locked-out of my Hotmail account! The error message is ?You've tried to sign in too many times with an incorrect email address or password.?. I was able to change password through alternative e-mail account but still could not login with new password. It's been more than 24 hours since the password change & I am still locked-out due to excessive login attempts. Seems like if the hacker doesn?t stop trying to login, I will forever be locked out of my Hotmail account. This is a clever way to create Denial of Service on any Hotmail Account!

Please assist.
