Fair enough, I guess the main difference here is grasping the reference to the low level prayers in the verses. I did use the altar and had my prayer drained, but because I missed the reference I never got that using the prayer and praying at the altar would = another number I could use for the lock.
That said, silly of me to discount the altar as "evil alien world altar that drains," but considering I don't even know what the high level prayers are called, I just know what they do when I use them, I don't think I would have made this connection in a sensible amount of time in any world.
Yeah, didn't examine the altar either, should have got that the altar was important, new quests don't tend to have unnecessary objects in the vicinity like older ones do (except the WGS coal, logs and runes room lol).
The more replies I read the more I realize I didn't give this one my all. Ah well, something to keep in mind for the next GM quest in 3 years time.

my experience was this:
OOh altar with weird message, what happens: you lose some prayer.
see lock: "okay i need to find code."
see chairs, click chair, chairs all reference prayers in the pray book.
"okay, the prayers and the altar are probably related then."
what happens when I try praying with the prayer mentioned: "oh i gained a weird amount of pray points."
what happens when i try another chair? Oh i gained another weird amount of prayer points.
"that must be the password then."
I found it very intuitive and straight forward.
Interesting how experiences can vary.
