Syntax: RECOVER nickname [password]
Allows you to recover your nickname if someone else has taken it; this does the same thing that NickServ does automatically if someone tries to use a kill-protected nickname.
When you give this command, NickServ will bring a fake user online with the same nickname as the user you're trying to recover your nick from, causing the IRC servers to disconnect the other user. This fake user will remain online for 1 minute to ensure that the other user does not immediately reconnect; after that time, you can reclaim your nick. Alternatively, use the RELEASE command (/msg NickServ HELP RELEASE) to get the nick back sooner.
In order to use the RECOVER command for a nickname, you must supply the correct password for the nickname, or you must already have identified to a nick linked to the given nick.
