They're asking you to modify the given code to add a while loop so that you can guess the password repeatedly until you get it correct.

var secret; // You'll need to declare the secret variable so that you can use it in your while evaluation.

while (secret !== "sesame") { // While secret is not equal to the string "sesame" ...
  secret = prompt("What is the secret password?"); // Keep prompting the user until you get the correct answer.
}

Your code should look like this : 

var secret;

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

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