To see the user name, in the standard account, go to System Preferences/Users & Groups, and the user name for each account should show in the left panel.
Try using the steps in this article:

Consider the Following:
A. Is this a Used Device?:
If this is a used device, then contact the seller, asking for the password. Also, have them sign out of iCloud.
B. Locate an Administrator User Name:
dscl . -read /Groups/admin GroupMembership
