I suggest you review the loops again to really understand it. Do your own research and have some fun with loops to understand it well. Meanwhile, here's the solution:

// Creates var secret
var secret;

// A do-loop runs the code in the loop atleast once. While a while loop only runs if the condition is met, it doesnt have to run one time.
do {
  secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");    
} while ( secret !== "sesame" )
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
