I don't now what my syntax error is, and no clue what to to do (while) next.

script.js 
var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
do {
  alert('I am sorry, but that password was incorrect.');
  secret;
  while ( secret !== "sesame" ) {

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

It should look like this:

var secret; 
do {
  secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");

} while ( secret !== "sesame" )
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
