Well

Simplest method is to maintain a counter variable field & a date field in the database, in case of every incorrect login for the day (check with the date field), imcrement the counter variable, then restrict if count = 3, & if successful, set the counter to zero.

But don't forget to update the date field with current date, and manipulate accordingly to maintain counters.

hi

one way is

take session variable
in which ur counter will be stored

in js check the value of session variable
if its greter than 3

window.close()

hi friend,
 I am very new to the field of .net.i didnt get the concept of session variable.can u help me with a piece of code?? i have written the code as like this----

            try
            {


SqlCommand cmd1=new SqlCommand("select username,password from login",con1);
    con1.Open();
        SqlDataReader myreader = null;
        myreader=cmd1.ExecuteReader();

                while(myreader.Read())
                {
    {
        if(TextBox4.Text == myreader["username"].ToString() && TextBox3.Text == myreader["password"].ToString())
        {
        Label6.Text="Login Successful";
