You can only close a window which your code has opened. This would be done using Javascript and the window.open object. You could then have a counter of some sort in CF and each time the user attempts to login and fails increment the counter. Then have a small piece of code at the begin of the login script to say if the count equals three close the window. Once again, using Javascript.
<cfif counter EQ 3>
<script>
self.close();
</script>
</cfif>

In your form have a hidden field call counter and add one to it each time. See below.
<cfparam name="form.counter" default="0">
<cfset form.counter = form.counter + 1>
<form action="myscript.cfm" method="post">
Username: <input name="username" type="text"><br>
Password: <input name="password" type="password"><br>
<input type="hidden" name="counter" value="<cfoutput>#form.counter#</cfoutput>">
<input type="submit">
</form>
Hope that helps.
