If you have created an account, you will need to log in when you connect to gain access to any privileges you may have, and to prove your identity to others.

#Connect to the IRC channel

#Type <code>/nickserv identify ''password''</code> (Make sure there is not a space before the slash--this would show the entire command including your password to everyone on the channel.)

#You are now logged in. If you have any privileges, they should be automatically applied to you.
