Register for IRC

So I have only been in an IRC channel once before in my lifetime, so maybe this is a RTFM question. I connect fine to the server, but when I try to connect to the channel it says I need a registered nickname..

wtf

Do a /msg nickserv register yourpass youremail

-NickServ- Syntax: REGISTER password email
-NickServ-
-NickServ- Registers your nickname in the NickServ database. Once
-NickServ- your nickname is registered, you can use the SET and ACCESS
-NickServ- commands to configure your nickname's settings as you like
-NickServ- them. Make sure you remember the password you use when
-NickServ- registering; you'll need it to make changes to your nickname
-NickServ- later. (Note that case matters! FIDO, Fido, and fido
-NickServ- are all different passwords!)
-NickServ-
-NickServ- You must include an E-mail address when registering your
-NickServ- nickname. You can prevent your E-mail address from being
-NickServ- shown to other users with the SET HIDE command (type
-NickServ- /msg NickServ HELP SET HIDE for more information).
-NickServ-
-NickServ- Guidelines on choosing passwords:
-NickServ-
-NickServ- Passwords should not be easily guessable. For example,
-NickServ- using your real name as a password is a bad idea. Using
-NickServ- your nickname as a password is a much worse idea and,
-NickServ- in fact, NickServ will not allow it. Also, short
-NickServ- passwords are vulnerable to trial-and-error searches, so
-NickServ- you should choose a password at least 5 characters long.
