I might have locked myself out :(

Suuuure. ;p I think it depends on this host, not sure.

I've seen some passwords hit 26 characters without any problems. Again, could depend on either 1) your host, 2) obviously a possibly typo, or 3) an incorrect character used.

The best thing to do is to contact your host and ask them to reset your password. We are usually kind about things like this (we all can messup our passwords from time to time ;))

Password modifications are easy enough for your provider. Contact them, and I'm sure they'll help you out!

The issue has been resolved

Glad to hear it!
