Hi Bojan

The do..while statement is used as follows

var someVar = "";

do
    //Do something with someVar
while (someVar !== "someValue")

Thanks for the help!!

This was my solution...

var secret;

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

document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
