So, I'm InQuognito, right? Yeah? Obviously. Ok, well, no. So, I was all la-dee-dah playing minecraft last week when I decided to give my Vitamin-D deprived brain some knowledge sun by dipping into mods a little bit. I did my research, found required computer and software specs, downloaded some launchers, and got started with a few mods. It was pretty epic, considering it was my first time ever doing it. Everything worked fine. The only issue was, I had to log in to my MC account for each one. No problem. Boom, logged in, fixed. But now... I come back from my last day of school until winter break is over, and something really bad is happening. I can't log in anywhere. AT ALL. Not in MC, Mojang, Minecraft.net, my launchers, ANYWHERE. So, I decided... easy enough. I go and reset my password. I'm all happy, and then crippling depression hits me like a tidal wave when THAT doesn't work. I reset my password FOUR TIMES! It STILL DOESN'T WORK!!
So now I am wondering the worst... was I hacked? Are the MC Servers down? Please help!

either the minecraft servers are down, or you are getting blocked by a firewall/antivirus/parental control
Or Mcleaks/AltDispenser, or throttled for 3 hours due to 3 incorrect logins which seems to be the case right now
After 3 incorrect login attempts, a lockout is placed automatically by Mojang's systems on your network to protect accounts against brute force attacks to gain access.
This lockout is automatic, lasts for 3 hours, and cannot be overridden. Wait 3 hours, don't log in at all. Then reset your password using https://account.mojang.com/password -- then try again.
Ok, thank you. I will try it. I noticed that if I use a mod launcher, it doesn't make me login. Would I be able to play online servers with that, or would I get banned for doing something against the Terms Of Service (Modding, Cheating, Glitching, etc.)?
most clients support something called offline mode, which is basically playing without login - however, [afaik] you will only be able to join cracked servers with this.
