You have changed the loop condition from secret !== "sesame" to secret === "sesame", which does the opposite of what the original condition did. If you change it back like this:

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

Then your code will work.
