Seems that you registered with an existing email address,

Try with a new one and take a look here : Optional Password Policy Enforcement

I have installed the eucalyptus 2 release of Open edX.  From this Confluence page, the command to create a new user is: sudo -u www-data /edx/bin/python.edxapp ./manage.py lms --settings aws create_user -e us...@example.com

Running this created a traceback:

Any thoughts on solving this?
