You're close, you have an extra set of braces after your while that you can remove and you don't need the prompt twice. You can just define the variable out the loop then call the prompt in the loop

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