Now that you have registered your nickname, it is very important to remember to identify EVERY TIME you access Xertion. The password in this case is the password you supplied during nick registration.
Once you have registered your nickname, you must identify to it each time you connect to Xertion, using NickServ's IDENTIFY command: <code>/msg NickServ IDENTIFY <em>password</em></code> - replace <code><em>password</em></code> with the password you used when you registered the nickname.
* Usage: '''/msg NickServ IDENTIFY password'''
** Example: /msg NickServ IDENTIFY mypass
