"Your code took too long to run" what does it mean?

i wonder why does it say that.

app.js 
var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");

while ( secret !== "seasame" ) {
secret = prompt("Wrong answer! What is the secret password?");
}

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

Your code is structured correctly, you did misspell "sesame" in your while condition which might be causing your trouble.
