I want to make a password and let the person have 3 trys, but i can't seem to get it to work. after the 3rd guess it moves on to my code after the password part. can someone please help me.

MM

int main() 
{
	int p = 3;
	while(p > 0)
	{
		string password ="";
		char ch;
		
		cout << "Type The Password To Eenter Program: ";
		ch = _getch();
		while(ch != 13)
		{
			password.push_back(ch);
			cout << '*';
			ch = _getch();
		}
		if (password == "Password1")
		{
		}
		if (p == 0)
		{
			cout << "\nWrong Password\n You Fail!!" << endl;
			_getch();
			return 0;
		}
		else
		{
			system("cls");
			cout << "Wrong Password\n Try Again" << endl;
			p -= 1;
		}
	}

That looks unnecessarily complicated.

int t=0;
bool wrongpassword=1;
while (1){
	//input password
	//set wrongpassword
	if (wrongpassword)
		t++;
	else
		break;
	if (t==3)
		return;
}
