You don't need to register it to use it.
Start with a factory reset.
Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while its powered on.
then install using a pc/laptop or the browser on your phone. Don't use the app. When you start the install proces it usually says "use the app/get it here" and then at the bottom of the page there should be a link for "i don't have a phone" or something simlar. uset that process.
Its much easier/faster.
