C# :: Changing Database Values?

I'm working on a project where we access a tiny premade database in order to log into and access another page. I got the log in part working right, but the last part of the project asks me to lock out the account after a certain number of failed attempts. I'm not sure if I need a method to do this or if I can do it right there in the button handler. I tried creating a method to use on the object that was already there, but I'm not sure if that's the right way to go about it. It says it locks the account, but the value in the database never changes, and I don't know why.

//from the login button handler
protected void btnLogin_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
bool IsFound = false;
clsDataLayer dl = new clsDataLayer();
IsFound = dl.GetUser(Server.MapPath("~/AddressBook.mdb"), txtUserID.Text, txtPassword.Text);
if (IsFound) {
Response.Redirect("~/frmUpdateAddress.aspx");
