Here is a quick and dirty script... if you want just the "Account Not Registered" and not the whole "F - Account Not Registered", you will need to parse the last field.

Please note: I am assuming a comma is the field delimiter. 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $Data;

while(<DATA>)
{
  chomp;
  @_=split(',');
  $Data->{$_[1]}->{$_[3]}++;
}

foreach my $User (sort keys %{$Data})
{
  print 'User: ',$User,"\n";
  foreach my $Error (sort keys %{$Data->{$User}})
  {
    print '  [',$Error,'] happened ',$Data->{$User}->{$Error},' time(s
+)',"\n";
  }
}


__DATA__
2004/09/01:10:37:57,cbt54632,192.168.1.253,F - Account Not Registered
2004/09/01:10:37:57,cbt99999,192.168.1.253,F - Account Not Registered
2004/09/01:10:37:57,cbt54632,192.168.1.255,A - Some Other Error
2004/09/01:10:37:57,cbt99999,192.168.1.255,B - Yet Another Error
2004/09/01:11:37:57,cbt54632,192.168.1.253,F - Account Not Registered

I hope this helps!
