You are close. Just have the do while loop out of order below is what I created.

You want it to do the prompt first. Then compare the response, ie the while.

var secret = "";

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

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