I would just turn off registration (remove all links to the registration form) and then user something like this plugin to create the user accounts:

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-add-user/

That is an old plugin but instructions on how to make it work for 1.0.2 are in the comments.

I thought there was a plugin by user zaerl that could help but I can’t find it right now.
