How do I restrict the amount of times a user can guess a number in C++?

Hi, Im sure Im putting something wrong in the code. This is mainly testing something out, but this is what I have:
<pre>// NumberMatch2.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;


int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
//Pick a random number//
int Number = 0;
srand(GetTickCount());
int i = rand()%10;
int NumberCount = 1;

//Prompt the user to guess a number between 1 and 100//
cout << "Can you guess which number Im thinking of? Hint: Its between 1 and 100 " << endl;
cout << "Careful, You only have 5 guesses!" <<endl;



//do a while loop for each time the user guesses wrong//
while ((Number != i) || (NumberCount < 5));
{
cin >> Number;

if (Number < i)
{
cout << "Your guess was too low. Try again." <<endl;
}
else
{
cout << "Your guess was too high. Try again."<<endl;
}


}
//If the right answer was guessed, congratulate the user!//
if (Number == i)
{
cout << "Nice job, you guessed the number!" << endl;
}

if (NumberCount >= 5)
{
cout << "Sorry, you were unable to guess the correct number within 5 tries" <<endl;
}
return 0;
}[/code]
The program seems to run okay but the problem is that it wont allow me to type in any number. Just wondering how I can do this properly so that it only allows the user to guess 5 times and then end. Thank you
