Gonzalo,

Unfortunately the only way to setup an account is through FAS. There should
be a way to regenerate a new captcha image so you can get a more legible one
next time around.

I do not know all the specifics on how the algorithm is setup but you can
see its implementation in the FAS codebase [1]. I'm sure the FAS
developers/maintainers would welcome any suggestions/feedback on how to
improve the captcha.
