I entered my info, I was not able to access the site.  I stopped.  If I were to hack the site (use some type of random login/password generator) or use someone else's login, then there would be an issue.

I would not be confident about that. Some pretty draconian new laws have been passed regarding cybercrime. What you're talking about may be punishable by prison time.

EDIT: Some further info from the US DOJ:

"Federal law enforcement officers may be called in to track a hacker if the hacker gains unauthorized access to a Federal Government computer or to a computer system protected by federal law. Protected computers are any computer used in interstate or foreign commerce or communications, which includes any computer connected to the Internet. 18 U.S.C. § 1030(e)(2)(B)."
