+ <title>Set the nickname password</title>
+
+ <p>
+ Registering a nickname is useful to preserve your identity on IRC and you will be able
+ to use always the same nickname. In some cirtumstances, some IRC channels may be
+ configured to accept only registered nickname.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ If you have registered your nickname with a password on a network that supports nickname
+ registration, you can use that password with <app>Empathy</app> to identify yourself as
+ the owner of the nickname.
+ </p>
+
+ <steps>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ From the <gui>Contact List</gui> window, perform one of the following:
+ </p>
+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Press <key>F4</key>
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Choose <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Accounts</gui></guiseq>
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ </list>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Select the IRC account from the box on the left of the dialog.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ If the account is enabled, disable it by deselecting the <gui>Enable</gui>
+ check-box next to the name of the account.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ In the <gui>Password</gui> text box, type the password you used to register
+ your nikcname.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>
+ Enable the account by selecting the <gui>Enabled</gui> check-box
+ next to the name of the account.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ </steps>
+
+ <p>
+ Once you are connected, you will receive a message from the nickname server that will
+ tell you of the established identification.
+ </p>
+
+ <note>
+ <p>
+ At the moment it is not possible to register a nickname with <app>Empathy</app>, it is
+ only possible to use the password of an already registered nickname.
