Hi Alex.

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

When you click "Check work" it throws an error and normaly give you a small tip what to do with it.

You have to declare the var outside the loop so it can be used further in your programming but the prompt has to be inside the loop, so the user gets a prompt everytime he writes the wrong answer.

So he or she knows whats going on with the program.

Happy Coding!!!
