4pda.ru Login/Register Captcha Tutorial

Many of you non-russian guys heard of 4pda.ru is a good and trustworthy source of getting modded games or apps of any mobile device, including android phones and iphones. Only catch is that you need to have an account to be able to download them and a while back some nasty captcha verification codes were introduced when you want to login or register an account on 4pda.ru.
If you know what the security codes mean you will see there are quite easy to solve.

Update! 
The guide below is not needed anymore, for log-in, even if you enter the wrong captcha, 4pda will send you an email with a link that will automatically authenticate you on the site.
So, just enter your username and password and leave captcha field blank, and check the box labeled "Я не могу ввести ответ" (I can not enter an answer). You will receive an email containing a link that will authenticate you on the forum.

Don't leave your email/password in the comments for someone else to make an account for you. Read the tutorial and do it yourself. Comments that contain emails/passwords will be DELETED!

Read the guide below if you want to register a new account on 4pda, because captcha is still needed there.

The captcha codes are just numbers written in Russian with no spaces, they are made from 4 digits, ex: 2450 - written like this "twothousand andforty fivehundreds".
