Your goal for this challenge is to prompt the user over and over untill he/she gets the correct answer.As a result, you want to add the prompt inside the while loop. This will allow you to prompt the user over and over.

var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
var rightPass = ("sesame");// you don't need this for the challenge
var quess;
while (secret !== rightPass) { // replace rightpass with "sesame" 
  quess = secret;
}
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");

You want something like this

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

while(secret !=='sesame') {
   secret = prompt ("What is the secret password?");
}
