this one?
i put in keydown event of my textbox
it depends on you on where you put this or just put it in button click event
VB.NET:
dim i as integer
 Private Sub TextBox1_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyDown
  		If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
  			If TextBox1.Text = "mzim" Then
  			Else
 			 If MessageBox.Show("invalid user", "note", MessageBoxButtons.OK) = DialogResult.OK Then
  					i += 1
  				    TextBox1.Text = ""
  				    TextBox1.Focus()
 					If i = 4 Then
 					 MessageBox.Show("no. of failed log-in ", "note" & i)
 					 Exit Sub
  					End If
  				End If
  			End If
  		End If
  	End Sub

hope this helps
 
I'll explain what mzim has done.

The problem with your code was the scope of the ctr variable. In your code, ctr has a procedure scope. This means that the variable only exists while the procedure is executing and is recreated (and destroyed) each time the procedure is executed. In mzim's code, the variable has class scope, which means the variable is created when the class is created (a form is a class) and remains in memory until the class is disposed.
