What you need to do is this:-

->they will ask for either standalone and +control panel ,
->Go for +control panel
->and than Click For New User.
->Give Your Name, Your Email and select Password to login the site.
E.g, Name :- John Smith
Email:-johnsmith@gmail.com

and
-> than press ok.

there
and click your device and do the following settings
If you click "ON" to "LOCK" option than be sure to remember the password given just below it, by Default the password is "PREYROCKS" .
-> It will ask the time you make your system on i.e, after logging in your System.
->and when "ALERT" option is on, the message will display whenever you log in to your system, that "this laptop is stolen ...." - lol
But I will ask you to follow the same way as it is on pictures, Don't make "ON" for option "ALERT", "ALARM", "LOCK", Etc.,
SO these were all steps and Now you Know.
Now if its get stolen than you can track your System.
But
Remember This still has demerit E.g, If thief formats your system completely than its no way possible to get back than to ask for police , and they don't track laptop normally, Until the stolen system is related with some serious case.
Would love to here from you...
