Code challenge - Do... while loops

It won't even tell me what's wrong with the code, it just says "Bummer! Try again!" I really don't know what's going on, so could someone write out the solution to both parts and send it to me?

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

var secret; 

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

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

This worked for me.
