We ran into this several times in our U.S. pilot of the Wikipedia Education Program. The limit seems to be no more than 6 accounts can be created in a 24-hour time period per IP address, but I've been unsuccessful at finding any place where that's actually documented on-wiki. We get around this by pinging one of the [[Wikipedia:Account creator]]s and asking for help, or like Alhen says, any admin.
