Hi Analyn, the challenge requires you to change the code and turn it into a do while loop, so instead of using the while syntax we use the do while syntax for example:

do {

//do something

} while (x < y)

We want to keep asking the user for the password until they enter the correct one ("sesame") so we do the following:

var secret;

do {
  secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");  //ask the user for the password
}
  while ( secret !== "sesame" ) //while their guess is NOT "sesame"

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

Hope that helps!!
