i do not understand how to code this problem.

i've tried multiple time this code and it does not work 

var pass= "sesame";
var secret=prompt("What is the secret password?");;
while(secret != pass.toUpperCase()){

  secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
 document.write("You  do not know the secret password. Try again."); 

}

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

Hello! 

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.");

Hopefully this works for you!

It works completely fine.

I am guessing you are missing the point that secret needs to equal your pass in UPPERCASE (as you have set it in this case);
