For security reasons, Facebook has set limits on the number of password resets that can be requested for an account within a short period of time. Therefore, If you request to reset your password too many times too quickly, you will likely be blocked from requesting for another passcode for a short period of time.
I recommend you wait this period out, as requesting a passcode again will reset the time you will need to wait for the lock to be removed, which is usually anywhere from 12 to 24 hours.
And I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you should wait until a full 24 hours have lapsed before requesting a passcode again.
Please keep in mind, this security measure is to help deter a potential hacker from compromising an account.
