Hi look at these post (You need to combine these two things) :

Here and Here

In the first post you see how to disable a button in android

myButton.setEnabled(false);

And in the second post you see how to make a timer

Well I can say that you'll need a Handler, and something to get the actual time for your 2nd question. You get a Handler like this:

Handler handler = new Handler();
            final Runnable r= new Runnable(){
                @Override
                public void run(){
                    if(time < 0){
                        button.setEnabled(true);
                    }

                    handler.postDelayed(this, 1000); //This runs the code again
                }
            };
            handler.postDelayed(r, 1000); //This runs the Handler.

The 1000 means miliseconds. Which means it will read the code for every 1000 miliseconds = 1 second. You still need to find a way to get the actual time. That's just an example of the handler.

If the user is wrong when putting the password:

button.setEnabled(false);
