Once you click submit, your account should be created. Shortly after (usually instantly) you should receive an e-mail at the address you provided for you to confirm your account. If you do not check your e-mail and follow the confirmation link, your account will be deleted within 48 hours. Once you have checked your e-mail and followed the activation link, all that is left is to login!
