You might do with exceptions:

--- 8< ---
#!/usr/bin/python
password = "foobar"
count = 0
try:
    while 1:
        if(password!="unicorn") :
            if count >= 3:
                raise "threefails"
            password=raw_input("Password : ")
            count = count + 1
        else :
            raise "success"
except "threefails":
    print "Failed three tries."
except "success":
    print "Welcome in."
except:
    # Handle some other exception
    raise
--- >8 ---

        Ever noticed that common sense isn't really all that common?
