Declare the secret variable at the top of the scope.

var secret;

Create a while loop that will run as long as the variable secret is not equal to "sesame". (!== is for strict not equals).

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

Finally, the code that will be executed only after the loop is completed.

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

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