You just need to click Forgot your password before logging in, enter your email address and click REQUEST PASSWORD RESET. Then open the email sent by Minecraft and follow the instructions onscreen to reset your password.
After resetting password, you can login again and check if the problem has been removed.
Solution 3: Flush DNS
