I have used this website a bit, and it really seems to work.

How To Use BugMeNot.com
Thanks for taking the time to learn about the bugmenot service.
Background
You're browsing the web and you click a link to an article on a site (let's say nytimes.com) but instead of getting the article you get a screen asking you to login or register. Infuriated at the idea of pointlessly registering for yet another site you turn to your good buddy bugmenot.com
Instructions
STEP 1: Make a note of the website address your are trying to access. For example:
http://www.nytimes.com/cnet/CNET_2100-1024_3-5567274.html
Or even just:
www.nytimes.com (http://www.nytimes.com)
STEP 2: Visit http://bugmenot.com (http://bugmenot.com/)
STEP 3: Enter the address from step 1 into the box and press the "Show Logins" button
STEP 4: You should now be presented with a username and password. Make a note of them.
STEP 5: Go back to the site you were originally trying to access in step 1 and proceed to login with the username and password you noted in the previous step.
With any luck you should be able to access your article now!
Important Notes
It's important to note that all of the username/password accounts listed on bugmenot are added by users such as yourself. If you can't find a working login for a site then you are encouraged to register with that site (using fake details (http://bugmenot.com/faq.php#12) of course) and then add the username/password to bugmenot for other users to use. Never enter your real login details into bugmenot- everyone else will be able to see them!
If you find bugmenot useful then please return the favour by telling everyone you know about it. Together we can take back the web.
When you hit a news website and get a registration request, just click in the browser's URL window, hit CTRL-c, go to bugmenot.com, click in 'URL of site' window, hit CTRL-v, then hit ENTER. Viola! At this point I sweep the mouse over the password (which is second), hit CTRL-c, and then making a note of the username (which is first), go back to the news website, type in the username and then click in the password window and hit CTRL-v, and then hit ENTER. And viola once again. This will give you access not only to the specific news article but to all the news articles at that website (until you delete cookies).
