How would you unlock them if they remember their password later?
You'd also need to reset the counter on a password reset.

ok add a new field to the DB.

then on the login page when a inccorect value use aupdate SQL to add 1 to the field. then if 3 always return false.

but if correct within three where the last login time is done add the counted field setting the value back to 0

then to actually stop the user .. in the common.asp page change thequery that uses the Usercode to log the user in.. set the query to alsocheck the user_code but also WHERE tblAuthor.Count = 0

if they dont equal 0 set them to a guest account .. or you can notcheck within the query and bring the value in.. where the user detailsare bought in.

then do a if statement saying if >2 then blnActiveUser = False

set them to inactive

Could it not work on a simpler basis
 
For example take a user with the name
mrweb
 
If mrweb goes to your forum and enters the incorrect details then a value changes in the database the value could start at 0 and would increase by 1 for every incorrect guess, if it was equal to 3 then the account locks no matter what computer or IP address you use you can't get in because the value in the database is equal to 3, it could either locked like that for a pre-defined time or need an admin to reset the value.
 
If you get the password wrong on the first try and right on the second go, the field resets to 0 on login as its not 3 incorrect passwords in a row.
