Passwording Loop in Console - Microsoft

i have a small problem with a program i am making for college.
i have made a program that will prompt for a password and check it and only let you continue if it is correct
the problem is... ...i need to make it ask 3 times but only if the password is incorrect. if it is enterd correctly then it should continue

i thort i may be able to achieve this be making a simple count but it still asks for my password again even if it is correct

i have posted the code below if it helps!

thanx - piepes

I was bored so I rewrote your program with password checking working. Hope this helps.

cheers man.

thats spot on, now i have to actually make the internal program! lol

i jus put in the date thing so i could see if the two functions worked properly
