It seems you don't store any data in django.contrib.auth.models.User your should be something like this:

models.py

class Profile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User)
    contact = models.CharField(maX_length = 50)
    # User class contain other fields that you need.

forms.py

class UserForm(forms.Form):
    class Meta:
        model = User

class ProfileForm(forms.Form):
    class Meta:
        model = Profile

registeration code:

def register(request):
    # ...
    # Your codes here

    profile_form = ProfileForm(data=request.POST)

    # Add this line:
    user_form = UserForm(data=request.POST)

    if user_form.is_valid() and profile_form.is_valid():
        user = user_form.save()
        user.set_password(user.password)
        user.save()

        profile = profile_form.save(commit=False)
        profile.save()
        registered = True
    else:
        print profile_form.errors
        print user_forms.errors
else:
    profile_form = ProfileForm()
    user_form = UserForm()

return render_to_response(
        'register.html',
        {'profile_form': profile_form, 'user_form':user_form 'registered': registered},
        context)
