I made a simple "enter your password" program using C++ language and the password is "Hello", I want to know if my way for coding is simple enough or is making things more complicated than it needs to be 

#include <iostream> 
using namespace std; 
main()
{ 
int i ; 
string P= "Hello" ; // P=password 
string EP ;         // EP=entered password 
cout << "please enter your password :" ; 
for(i=1;i<=5;i++) 
{     
cin >> EP ;     
if (EP==P)     
{         
cout << '\n' << '\n' << "correct !!     " <<  "welcome to the programe :D !!" ;        
 i=8 ;      //I made it 8 to stop the For loop    
}     
else    
 {       
if (i==5)       
++i ;      /*I put the plus 1 so I that when the user try 5 times it wont have "please try again" massage printed again
            after the "please leave" one */       
else         
cout << "wrong password" << '\n' << "please try again :" ;    
 }    
 if(i==4)     //this just a warning letter before the last try     
cout << '\n' << '\n' <<"warning, you have one try left :" ;
}
 if(i==7)    
cout << '\n' << '\n' << "you've failed to log in, please leave" ; 
}
