need helpYou don't always need to use a counter or specify an exact number of times that a loop must run. All you need i

script.js 
// Display the prompt dialogue while the value assigned to `secret` is not equal to "sesame"
let secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");

// This should run after the loop is done executing
alert("You know the secret password. Welcome!");

Hi Aaron!

This passes:

// Display the prompt dialogue while the value assigned to `secret` is not equal to "sesame"
let secret;

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

// This should run after the loop is done executing
alert("You know the secret password. Welcome!");

I hope that helps.

Stay safe and happy coding!
