do...while loop

I am getting hung up on creating a do...while loop. Do I need to create additional variables in order to complete this? Also not sure what to use in order to exit this loop.

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



do { secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
    if secret = ("sesame"){

    }else (secret = prompt("What is the secret password?"));

} while();
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">

Try this:

var secret;

do {
    secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
} while (secret != "sesame");

Good luck! ~alex
