+ Set the nickname password
+
+
+ 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.
+
+
+
+ If you have registered your nickname with a password on a network that supports nickname
+ registration, you can use that password with Empathy to identify yourself as
+ the owner of the nickname.
+
+
+
+
+
+ From the Contact List window, perform one of the following:
+
+
+
+
+ Press F4
+
+
+
+
+ Choose EditAccounts
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Select the IRC account from the box on the left of the dialog.
+
+
+
+
+ If the account is enabled, disable it by deselecting the Enable
+ check-box next to the name of the account.
+
+
+
+
+ In the Password text box, type the password you used to register
+ your nikcname.
+
+
+
+
+ Enable the account by selecting the Enabled check-box
+ next to the name of the account.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Once you are connected, you will receive a message from the nickname server that will
+ tell you of the established identification.
+
+
+
+
+ At the moment it is not possible to register a nickname with Empathy, it is
+ only possible to use the password of an already registered nickname.
