Hi Yoel

var secret; //Create the variable
do {
 secret = prompt("What is the secret password?"); //Do this action
}
while ( secret !== "sesame" ); //white this is true
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome."); //If while is false (secret === "sesame"), then write this.

I'm not too sure but

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

document.write("You know the password, welcome.")

or

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

document.write("You know the password, welcome")

Try this, but I'm not too sure.
