}

else if (username ==null && password ==null )
{
counter = counter + 1
Two more tries
}

This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind.
"I can minus one time only i am using if and multiple else if statement" means pretty much nothing - we need to see what your code does at present, or we are just guessing what you prroblem might be.
Use the "Improve question" widget to edit your question and provide better information.

"do I need to store my counter in a session"... is that your actual question? Do you want to store that in a session variable? Then go ahead and do that. BTW, your strings will most likely never be null.

Yes. But ViewState makes more sense here as this value will only be used on this page. So, better save in ViewState and read from there.

If you don't save it anywhere, each time it goes through your code, it again assigns 0 to the counter
