My password IS "incorrect"

My password is the word "incorrect".

So if I make a mistake entering my password, the computer tells me what the password actually is...

Simples.

Why not just remove the password altogether.

It would help if you substituted some characters with numerals / special characters and used some upper case.

e.g. 1NC0rR3Ct

I'm informed that the hardest passwords to crack are phrases.

"Your password is incorrect!" would make a better password, but chances are the hackers already have that phrase in their dictionary.
