Register your account with (steps here)
/msg NickServ REGISTER <password> <e-mail>
Identify with:
/msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password> <nickname>
Password reset with:

Check your email for a reset code, then:

Some additional notes:
- in irssi, /msg NickServ will open an additional window in your terminal. To see the output of the command, use Alt-2 or whatever window number is where that command was run
- If you’re in that window connected to NickServ, you can enter the other commands directly to NickServ without the /msg NickServ prefix
