The instructions ask for the message to be set to "Access denied", but the code here sets the message 'Acess denied' (with just one "c") instead.

Also, while it's optional here, it's considered a "best practice" to always end statements with a semicolon.

Thank you Steven, it was a silly error that resolved my problem. Thank you for pointing it out. I also added the semicolon. :)
