'...the source code might help...'
The prominent text below the image reads 'An ALTernative?' and the title of the level points to the source code. Looking at the source code reveals
!--ascii is an alternative-->ASCII is a coding standard for information, including letters and so on. In DOS (!) to enter one of the ASCII characters you need to hold the Alt key and enter the character's code. So 'An ALTernative' might also have something to do with ASCII
Also we find an imbedded frame of the following page
http://deathball.net/notpron/stuff/mine.htm
(its the same thing you get scrolling down)
Highlighting the contents of the frame, we get the numbers
108 105 108 107
117 111 114 104
Which look like ASCII encodings. Searching online (for decimal encodings -a priori they could be in base-9, or worse, but they aren't!) we get
l i l k
r o t h
Clicking in the lower left corner of the photo and entering these lines, they doesn't work as the name and password. But we notice the hint 'anagram' and unscramble to get
kill
hour
Changing the url to
http://www.deathball.net/notpron/all/hesgotitall.htm we get a web page with text saying 'This is the wrong alternative! go back!'
Didn't find any other easter eggs or ways to go about it :) On to Level Seven
Until then
The ASCII encoding for 117 is u not t.
