Hi godt09,
Sorry for the wait! It sounds like there's a bit of confusion about the definition of user accounts, here.
"Out of the box", Form Tools has two levels of user account: the administrator (you) and client accounts. Client account have to be manually created by the administrator through the interface, or, if you're a developer, write your own code to utilize the API functions to generate those accounts.
The Submission Accounts module is just that: it creates a "user account" out of a submission. Submission Accounts allow people who had originally submitted the form to re-log in later and edit that information. These are not client accounts: they're simply limited access accounts to allow re-editing their own submission - nothing more. If you need to allow people to sign up as client accounts, I'm afraid you'll need to look into the API route.
Hope this helps a bit.
