You mean, "Developer Key".  G1G1 machines are pre-activated from the factory.

You have several options:
 a) use a USB-to-wired ethernet adapter to get your XO on the net,
then use the method built into the XO.
 b) you can copy the file /home/.devkey.html from the XO to another
(network-connected) machine, and perform the process from that
machine.
 c) You can submit a written request via snail mail.  The contact
address on the OLPC website should work:
     One Laptop per Child
     P.O. Box 425087
     Cambridge, MA 02142
     U.S.A.
Include at least the serial number of the laptop; the UUID would be
helpful but not necessary.
