Best way to do this?

[Wil Schultz]

I am reading the "Non-Programmers Tutorial For Python" by Josh Cogliati
http://www.honors.montana.edu/~jjc/easytut/easytut/easytut.html

One of the exercises asks for a program to ask for a password three 
times. Surprisingly this took me much longer that it probably should 
have so I am curious if the following is the easiest way this is done. 
Thanks much!

*************************************************
#!/usr/local/bin/python

count = 0
password = "null"

while count < 3:
         count = count + 1
         password = raw_input("what's the pass: ")
         if password == "mypass":
                 print "Access Granted"
                 count = 3
         else:
                 if count < 3:
                         print "Try Again"
                 else:
                         print "Too Bad"
