If that's the case, you need to make some change to the 1st line of the code, just declare the secret variable without assigning value to it.

var secret;  // declare the variable but not assigning value to it.
do {
  secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
} while ( secret !== "sesame" );

document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");

Like such.
