What i my mistake, the code isn't accepted. Bummer! You should declare the `secret` variable before the loop.

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

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

I haven't done this challenge yet, but I did run it in jsfiddle and it works. Maybe try declaring the variable secret outside of the loop.

You can declare the variable outside of the loop so you don't have to keep creating a new variable everytime within the loop. Your code is very close.

This is what I did.

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

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