We ran into this several times in our U.S. pilot of the Wikipedia
Education Program. The limit seems to be no more than 6 accounts can
be created in a 24-hour time period per IP address, but I've been
unsuccessful at finding any place where that's actually documented
on-wiki.
We get around this by pinging one of the [[Wikipedia:Account
creator]]s and asking for help, or like Alhen says, any admin.

If you're an admin you can send as many accounts
as you want a
temporal pass so they can log in the day of the workshop.
I'm an admin on the wiki, so I usually ask people who don't have an
account to provide an email address or to come early to the classroom
to get a username easily.
You just have to go to [[Special:Login]] while logged in. Then, you go
to register a new account and there you'll see a bos that lets you
send a new account via email.

There is a problem with registration when there
are more than 15 people
trying to do on the same IP. When people have workshops this is a real
problem. Is there any way to solve it?
