I knmow there have been some thread here from other users who did not want or could not register (linux users) and they had found a work around that required the addition of a row to one of the sql tables on the Touch.
Take a look at
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=262 for some info.
There is a FireFox add on called "SQLite Manager" that can prove useful in editing the SQLlite database on the Touch.
DO TAKE A BACKUP OF IT BEFORE DOING ANYTHING...
With the Kobo mounted it will be in \.kobo\KoboReader.sqlite
