    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.
