If you are already registered, disregard the following part. Otherwise:
To register your nick, enter
/msg nickserv register [password] [email]
Where [password] should be your chosen password (without brackets) and email your email address. Passwords are case-sensitive.
You only need to register once, after that, you can identify using
/msg nickserv identify [password]
