How to re-do this program with do/while loop?

Hi, I have been asked to redo this program with do-while loop and I am stuck.

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

Thanks!

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.");

1st define var then just if secret is not "sesame run your code :)

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