Just loaded freenet.
How do I obtain the master password to get started.
Do I need to register somewhere?

I will assume that you've loaded the correct 'Freenet' (the anonymous 
distributed network node), and the have chosen some high security level 
pertaining to your computer being taken from you. In which case you are the 
person who had to chose that master password, and nobody should ever know it.


There is no registration to run a node. If you have allowed it to connect to 
strangers on the internet it will bootstrap itself automatically, if you did not 
allow for that, then you will need to already know people who run the nodes, and 
connect to them (it's more secure if you trust the people you connect to (but 
less secure if you don't), you should never connect to somebody in this manner 
whom you wouldn't trust not to try to attack your node and try to figure out 
what you have been doing).
