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

This can the lead to even cleaner code later on using 'do... while' like:
do {
var secret = prompt("What is the secret password?");
} while (secret.toLowerCase() !== "sesame");
document.write("You know the secret password. Welcome.");
