On Matrix, open a new chat (with Riot app this is the "+" sign on the bottom right)
Invite @oftc-irc:matrix.org to the new chat
Say !nick <yournick>
A request for new chat with NickServ will pop up (if not invite @_oftc_NickServ:matrix.org). Accept it.
Send "REGISTER <password> <email>" to register your nickname.
"identify <password>" can be used to authenticate (in case the bridge reconnects)

-This works for nicks that are known to matrix.org, i.e. if the nick has never joined an IRC channel that was bridged to matrix it won't work.
