I want to create a timer when user picks an Item from listbox:

C#

private void ExistUserList_SelectedIndexChanged
(object sender, EventArgs e)

Then write down the wrong password in textbox:

C#

private void FirstPassword_TextChanged
(object sender, EventArgs e)

and push the button:

C#

private void NextForm3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

For 3 times, then it will count down time from 10 seconds to 0 seconds in the button with a message box.

What I have tried:

I have tried this code, but it doesn't work:

C#

private void ExistUserList_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            // Pobierz wybrany element z kontrolki ExistUserList
            string selectedText = ExistUserList.SelectedItem.ToString();
            // Ustaw wybrany tekst w kontrolce AllText2
            AllText2.Text = selectedText;

            if (ExistUserList.SelectedIndex >= 0)
            {
                // Wybrano użytkownika, więc wyświetl hasło w TextBox
                string selectedUsername = ExistUserList.SelectedItem.ToString();
                int userIndex = users.IndexOf(selectedUsername);

                if (userIndex >= 0)
                {
                    // Ustaw hasło w TextBox
                    FirstPassword.Text = passwords[userIndex];
                }
            }

            if (ExistUserList.SelectedItem != null)
            {

What do you mean by "it doesn't work"? Please do not expect people to be able to guess what happens when you run your code. You need to expalian exactly what results you see, or do not see, and why that is not what is expected.

The timer doesn't work, rest of the code is working fine.

"I have tried this code but it doesn't work"
"The timer doesn't work"

Stop trying to type as little as possible; you're not being charged by the character here.

Repeatedly saying "it doesn't work" without any further details is useless. We can't run your code, we can't access your computer, we can't see your screen, and we can't read your mind. You need to explain precisely what the problem is.

When I select a Item from listbox, write wrong password and click on button 1 and 2 times then I have messagebox from code in button that user have 3 times to write correct password or it will block button and password textbox for 10 seconds. The code is blocking that what I want 10 seconds and at the end, user have a next message box from button that informs unlock password textbox and button but it didn't count the 10 seconds in another messagebox till the blocking starts.

You're displaying a message box while the timer is still active. The event handler will "re-enter" with each interval "tick". MessageBox is "modal"; it is not async. You need a (non-modal) "window" or "progress bar".
