How does this javascript challenge solve?!

Re-write the code to use a do...while 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.");

you are missing the do portion of your do while loop. you need to tell the program to do something while a condition is true so the answer would be 

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