found this on the joomla site (dont forget to look there..), but im sure you can edit the comprofiler.php file too and do the same.
look for line 871:
mosMakeHtmlSafe($row);
$row->id = 0;
$row->gid = $acl->get_group_id('Registered','ARO');
$row->usertype = 'Registered';
change "Registered" to "Author"
