Re-authenticate IRC Nickname

If the password isn't entered in the allowed time in IRC, a user can be blocked from signing in, and have their name temporarily changed to guest.

You have 30 seconds to identify to your nickname before it is changed.

You failed to identify in time for the nickname <nickname> You are now known as Guest59588

If that occurs, doing the following can allow attempting to sign in again.

Identify your nick (replacing nick and password of course).

/quote NickServ identify $nick $password

Turn off enforce.

/quote NickServ set enforce OFF

Release your nick from services:

/quote NickServ release $nick $password

Login again.

/nick $nick

Turn enforce back on

/quote NickServ set enforce on
