I tried, and it works like a charme now.

You discovered a bug in the PicoLisp wiki - the account creation
mechanism was not adjusted to the recently introduced password
encryption in the wiki database. This is fixed now too. 

The PicoLisp application framework is explicitly designed such that
_all_ pages and forms works without JS too, so its a perfect fit for
(emacs-)w3m. Great to be able to browse PicoLisp webapps with emacs-w3m
now, thanks for the quick fix.
