If you do not have information ready, the system will time out and you will to start over again. I am also attaching HMRCs step by step online guide, with screen shots to further assist you with registration.
To register for MGD you must have a Government Gateway account for an Organisation and have a User ID and password. If you are an existing user of HMRC Online Services and you already have a User ID and password you can register for MGD and add it to the services you use.
