I am having a huge issue with the do loop You only need to call the prompt() method once, and only inside the loop. Hint

What can I do to get rid of this error it is really slowing me down.

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

You have the prompt method on two different lines, but the challenge only wants you to only have it on one, and have it inside the loop.
