You never need to register; just say "never" when asked.

What sort of account did you try to create? You don't need an account. 
You don't need a password. You don't need to contact Oracle; as far as I 
know OOo is still supported by the openoffice.org mail lists.

Registering has never required an account or password. Are you sure you 
are using a "genuine" version of OpenOffice.org downloaded from 
www.openoffice.org ? There are companies out there who *sell* software 
and require registration even though the actual software is OOo and the 
companies point there customers at us for support.
