As I understand your question, you have a brand new Mac that has never been configured with any User Accounts. When asked if you wanted to transfer information, you answered yes—a good choice.


From that Apple Support document,



It seems to me that Migration Assistant is asking for that PC's User Account credentials, but I know little to nothing about Windows PCs. If the above link doesn't help, it's a good excuse to Contact Support and ask them for step-by-step instructions. That service is free with the purchase of a new Mac, and it's the kind of question they enjoy answering.
