Your question is written in the subject, "Cannot complete registration with OpenSUSEforums" and first, there is no "OpenSUSEforums", it is and has been "openSUSE forums" > I don't remember a long email address like that.

This is "now" the support list for openSUSE which replaced the "openSUSE" list which now is general conversation mostly belonging in openSUSE-offtopic.

TW is not really the right thing for beginners. Instead, install Leap 15.2. Then read the Start Up Guide and other available documentation and learn some basic openSUSE before jumping to TW.
