Finally i did find an hack for this problem

Make the field fullname, confirm password as display:none

Bind the data from username to fullname and from password to confirm password

For eg ( a simple binding example )

<html>
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#target').bind('keyup keypress blur', function()
 {
    $('#target1').val($(this).val());
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
  <form>
  <fieldset>
    <label for="target">Type Something:</label>
    <input id="target" type="text" />
<input id="target1" type="text" />
  </fieldset>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Do the above for your criteria I dont know whether its a perfect solution, but this solves my problem.

Where did you insert this code? In functions.php or bp-custom.php? – user12632 Jan 31 '12 at 16:44
