How do I enable Visualforce Developer Mode

I found in the Getting Started tutorial that I need to check the VisualForce Developer Mode checkbox in order to start the tutorial.  I can't find that option.  The directions say to do this:
 
Sign up for a Visualforce Developer Preview. Then, click through to Setup -> My Personal Information -> Personal Information -> Edit. Enable the Visualforce Developer Mode checkbox and then hit Save.
 
I tried that, but I do not see a check box named Visualforce Developer mode on my Personal Information page.  I thought it might be because my profile is for a 'System Administrator', but I'm not sure.  In any cae, I don't know how to change that setting.
 
Does anyone know how I can find and check that checkbox?

You have to sign up for the visualforce developer preview first. Its not easy to  find where to do this:
 
 
Once signed up log out then back into dfc to find the checkbox.

I can't login in there.  I have a login, but it doesn't work there.

With that in mind, I click on the link to register, and I can't register.  My email is already in use, with the account I tried to login with.

This is a bit of a catch-22.  I can't login and I can't update my login info.  What is going wrong?

Suppose you are using Developer Edition follow the below navigation for the current release(winter 14).

 

1) Go to the Setup | Administer | Manage Users | Users| select for which user you want to enable the developer mode

 

Click on the Edit button beside of there user Name.

 

Then Enable the Development Mode.
