+  <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.
+    </p>
