Minecraft Website Login Error

[Leafcrafter]

A few hours ago I tried to login my Minecraft.net account "Grasscrafter" but it said: Login throttled, too many attempts. Try again in a couple of minutes.
An hour later I tried to login but it said the same thing. I went to "Help" on the website but it didn't help me. I have tried reseting my password but it did not work.
Can somebody help me I really want to get on the Zombie Survival Server.

I knew the Zombie Survival Server was down. Since Summer10 told me. But I just had to clear my browsing history so I could log in.
Thanks for showing me where to look if the Zombie Survival Server is down or not though.

@GmK you missed his point a bit I think.

I know I'm kind of late to reply, but here's the info I have on it.

The "login throttled" message has nothing to do with the zombie server. It means that you've tried and failed to log in to your account too many times in a short period of time and the authentication is blocking access to your account for a while. Whether it's from a bug in the software, or you losing connection, or hitting the refresh key at the wrong time, or a hundred other things that could possibly go wrong; there's not much you can really do other than wait it out. When it happened to me it lasted a little over a day. Also, once you have access again you'll want to change your password just in case it was caused by someone trying to force their way into your account.

Yadda yadda

Shush, I had so much fun making those screenshots!

I did change my password but not after I had access. I will change it though. Thanks Damer.
