@ Daniel .... There is a small problem in your code,You can't define a var in side the loop, you have to initialize it before using it... aka

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

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

BDW thanks..
