I had the same problem after I decided to make my password a bit
stronger. Changing my password to an 8-character string made signing in
through Pidgin work again.

Title:
  After changing password via icq.com, i am unable to login to ICQ
  network via pidgin

Status in pidgin package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Everything worked fine, and then i went to icq.com and changed my icq
  password from there.  Pidgin stopped letting me in with "Incorrect
  password" error.

  I have attempted several times to change the password to different
  values, even trying to change it to the exact same password that
  worked before. Nothing helps.

  I am able to login to the "Web ICQ" available on the site, i am able
  to get into the profile settings on icq.com, the password is valid.

  It does not consist of any strange characters. Only latin letters and
  numbers are used.
