There's already about 60 million threads on the 1017 error. The biggest one is here:

But to save you some reading, the login queue itself is very small (a few hundred people maybe, possibly less), so if you don't get into the queue, you get the 1017 error. There's nothing you can do right now except keep retrying unfortunately (same as everyone else trying to login who gets this)
