You may need to wait at least 24 hours before attempting to log in again: If you see an 'Unable to sign you in to your Apple ID' message - Apple Support.

For reference: Reset your Mac login password - Apple Support. If your Mac has locked your Apple ID / iCloud account following too many failed login attempts, then you need to follow If your Apple ID is locked or disabled - Apple Support.
