If you don't have an account at answers.unity3d.com yet at all, check out the other answers. If you do have an account, but it doesn't show your name correctly, follow these steps:

Click on your current username (e.g. unkown (google) or similar) at the top bar of the page.
Click the link called edit (you can use your browsers page search function if you have problems spotting it)
Type in your name in the Display Name field and possibly the Real Name field.
Click Save Profile button.

If you want to create your own Open Id server to not have to register with Google, Yahoo or alike, there is an Open Id PHP script available that makes your own webserver act as Open Id server for your own identities.

http://siege.org/projects/phpMyID/

Very easy to use, no database nor filesystem write access needed, all configured in the config file.

You can now also use your Unity forum account. Simply click on the Unity logo on the login page and enter your Unity profile name if required. You can also add your forum account to your existing profile instead of creating a new one by clicking on your username at the top bar of the page, then click on the "new login" link and either select the Unity logo or type "login.unity3d.com/[your forum id]" into the generic openID text field. – Keli Hlodversson Oct 21 at 9:26
