The "traditional" hack to avoid having to deal with the Kobo servers:

Anyway,
in order to initialize the reader without registering you can add a new line to the "user" table of the database. Fill in any fitting values. Depending on your reset firmware version, the number of values varies.
Example for FW 1.9.12:
Code:
INSERT INTO user VALUES ("0", "0", "0", "0", "0");Example for FW 2.5.0:
Code:
INSERT INTO user VALUES ("0", "0", "0", "0", "0", "0","false")
I think you use the SQLite Database Browser. Right? Open the database file "KoboReader.sqlite". Select "Browse Data" and choose the table "user". Look at line 1 and try to establish whether the values of one of the two examples might fit or whether you have to make some modifications. I guess the second example might be correct for the Mini. Choose Execute SQL, enter the command "INSERT INTO user VALUES ..." and press "Execute query".
As you can see you just replace each of the user value entries with a "0" except the last. You will have a different number of value fields depending on the firmware, just check how many are there before making the change.
I keep a zeroed out copy of KoboReader.sqlite on my PC in case of a corrupted database issue and/or a factory reset.
Luck;
