Can't figure out correct answer

I'm not sure what i'm missing or what else I need to add (or subtract)?

script.js
var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");

do {
  secret = prompt ("What is the secret password?");
} while (secret !== "sesame");
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");

Do as the bummer message states:

You only need to call the prompt() method once, and only inside the loop. Hint: Declare the secret variable before the loop.

You can initialize var secret as "" so you aren't prompting twice. Other than that your loop is good.
