@imaigwilo Obviously one or the other of us is missing something here. Wikitech's editor accounts are Wikimedia developer accounts. Those accounts are self-serve to create using either of the two processes described at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Create_a_Wikimedia_developer_account.

What have you tried or are planning to do that needs someone else to create an account for you? Are you trying to put "(WMF)" in your developer account's username? If so, please do not do that. In the technical account space we do not use naming suffixes to create a distinction between Foundation staff and any other technical volunteer. We actually encourage use of either full names (like "Bryan Davis") or names matching SUL account names (like "BryanDavis") for developer accounts.

access the Beta database

This sounds like you are actually wanting project membership in the deployment-prep Cloud VPS project which hosts https://meta.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Main_Page and the other "beta cluster" wikis. For that you need a Developer account and then for someone listed as an "administrator" for the Cloud VPS project at https://openstack-browser.toolforge.org/project/deployment-prep to add you as a project member.
