/msg NickServ REGISTER <password> - this way you register your nick /msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password> - Login >From Freenode PAQ: (http://www.freenode.net/faq.shtml) Why should I register my nick? To register channels, or to be added securely to channel access lists, you must first register your nick. Being registered lets you keep using the same nick, so that people can become more familiar with you and know you by your reputation. Finally, IRC client software which supports CAPAB IDENTIFY-MSG will actually let people see whether you've identified to services when you send them messages or when you comment on channel, thus helping them to determine when someone might be spoofing your identity.
