MacBook Air M1 - Create a Computer Account

This is the first time for me to set up a computer and when I tried to 'Create a Computer Account' in my name, it said that name was unavailable. I tried several variations then I gave up and shut the computer down. When I started it up again, this is what the screen looked like. What do I do now?
