    List <User> newUsers = new List<User>();
	Profile pf= [Select Id from profile where Name='System Administrator'];

			    User userInsert = new User() ;
                userInsert.FirstName =c.FirstName!=null?c.FirstName:'';
                userInsert.LastName =c.LastName;
                String aliesKey ='';
                if(c.FirstName!=null && c.FirstName!=''){
                    aliesKey = aliesKey+c.FirstName.trim().substring(0,1);
                    if(c.LastName.length()>7){
                        aliesKey =aliesKey+c.LastName.trim().substring(0,6) ;

Hi Pavan
 
trigger createUserfromContact on Contact (after insert) {    
 List <User> newUsers = new List<User>();
 Profile pf= [Select Id from profile where Name='System Administrator'];
 for(Contact c : Trigger.NEW){
                
	 User userInsert= new User() ;
            userInsert.FirstName =c.FirstName!=null?c.FirstName:'';
            userInsert.LastName =c.LastName;
            userInsert.Email=c.Email;
            userInsert.Username = c.Email;
            userInsert.ProfileId = pf.Id;
              
	newUsers.add(userInsert);
            } 
if(newUsers.size()>0) 
Insert newUsers;
}

The above solution might work for you .Please try and let us know.

Thanks
Bhargavi.
