How I do this task?

I don't understand how I write it correctly to run the code.

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.");

try:

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

var secret; 
do {
  secret = prompt("what is the secret password?"); // execute the code inside
} while (secret !== "sesame"); // and then run if secret is equal to "sesame" - if not, run again until it is.
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");

Let me know if you still don't get it
