Hi Moath,

Not necessary to have twice prompt messages, you can leave out first line of variable secret. Let's focus on do......while.

Remember our teacher Dave McFarland's notes on the instruction - do...while loops

do {
  // code for loop goes here
} while ( )

Now let's compare with your code example, notice some brackets errors. 

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

Hope that helps :)
