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

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

}while(secret!=="sesame");

You're very close. You should have gotten a message like this: " Bummer! You only need to call the prompt() method once, and only inside the loop. Hint: Declare the secret variable before the loop."

Those are two very good hints, but the second one might be a bit clearer if it said "Just declare (don't assign) the secret variable before the loop".

I'll bet you can get it now without an explicit code spoiler.
