The errors are stored in the form instance you create from the POST data and
call is_valid() on. In the case where is_valid() returns False you are
creating an entirely new (unbound) AccountForm with initial data and passing
that to the template. You aren't passing in the form instance that failed
validation, so the template cannot report the errors. That whole else block
looks more like it belongs to the GET processing case, not the
POST-but-form-failed-validation case.
