If none of these links is available, this means that the
administrator of the installation has disabled self-registration.
This means that only an administrator can create accounts
for other users. One reason could be that this installation is
private.

<para>
Also, if only some users are allowed to create an account on
the installation, you may see these links but your registration
may fail if your email address doesn't match the ones accepted
by the installation. This is another way to restrict who can
access and edit bugs in this installation.

Within moments, and if your registration is accepted, you should
receive an email to the address you provided, which contains your
login name (generally the same as the email address), and two URLs
with a token (a random string generated by the installation) to
confirm, respectively cancel, your registration. This is a way to
prevent users from abusing the generation of user accounts, for
instance by entering inexistent email addresses, or email addresses
which do not belong to them.

<para>
By default, you have 3 days to confirm your registration. Past this
timeframe, the token is invalidated and the registration is
automatically cancelled. You can also cancel this registration sooner
by using the appropriate URL in the email you got.

If you confirm your registration, Bugzilla will ask you your real name
(optional, but recommended) and your password, which must be between
3 and 16 characters long.

Now all you need to do is to click the <quote>Log In</quote>

enter your email address and password you just chose into the
