Password Retry System Python Challenge

Your task for today is to write a Python program that simulates a basic login system with a limited number of attempts. This project will help you practice while loops, conditional logic, and handling repeated user input.

📝 Project Task

The program should:

• Let the user attempt to enter a password.

• Give them up to 3 tries using a while loop.

• If the user enters the correct password within 3 tries, print a success message like "Access granted."

• If the user fails 3 times, print "Too many attempts. You are locked out."

You can hardcode the correct password as "python123" for this exercise.

📌 Expected Output

If the user succeeds:

Enter password: hello
Incorrect password. Try again.
Enter password: python123
Access granted.

If the user fails all 3 attempts:

Enter password: test
Incorrect password. Try again.
Enter password: admin
Incorrect password. Try again.
Enter password: letmein
Too many attempts. You are locked out.

This project is a great stepping stone toward building full authentication systems.
