Hi Diego! Would you mind putting your code in to proper syntax? I'd love to help, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what code goes where. A slight problem when looking for mistakes. :) If you don't know how to put it into proper syntax try looking at the Markdown Cheatsheet. :)

Is this how you have your code arranged? The code seems good, perhaps an indentation problem. 

import sys

MASTER_PASSWORD = "opens"
password = input("Please enter the super secret password: ")
attempt_count = 1

while password != MASTER_PASSWORD:
  if attempt_count > 3:
    sys.exit("Too many invalid password attempts")
  password = input("Invalid password, try again: ")
  attempt_count += 1
print("Welcome to secret town")

I have the same issue as well, I have tried the code above as well without any change. No google results helpful that I found, either! IT simple exits without displaying sys.exit() message.
