failed attempt counter (various kinds, please see below)
We actually do say attempt counter, but there are a few varieties: "failed-attempt counter"
"unsuccessful logon attempt counter"
"failed logon attempt counter"
and a few more. The "attempt counter" is pretty standard, but I'm afraid the words surrounding it are not.

Oops, I concentrated so much on your question regarding whether or not we say "attempt counter," that I totally forgot about the "hochgezählt" part. "Counter increases" are often called "increments" in the IT field, so (and depending on how you're translating these abbreviated versions): "failed attempt counter incremented / failed attempt counter reset to 0"
"unsuccessful logon attempt counter"
"failed logon attempt counter"
and a few more. The "attempt counter" is pretty standard, but I'm afraid the words surrounding it are not.
