'nick' is your nickname which you entered when you set up the IRC chat. You can register your nickname by entering "/msg nickserv register <password> <email address>"

Then when you start next time enter "/msg nickserv identify <password>"

You can get a list of nickserv commands by entering "/msg nickserv help"
