Determining All of This:
It’s probably the same username and password you use to log in to your computer with to use it.
Revealing your Username:
The Top-Listed user would be the username you are logged in to.
Underneath it, it should show if you are an administrator(in dull-grey font).
So, if an Administrator, enter that Username, and use the password you use to log in.

If you are the FIRST or ONLY User, that Admin user-name and password is YOURS!
Your regular every-day username and password. (NOT your Apple-ID or its password).
