I have started setup on my new iMac, and left migration assistant to transfer from my Time Machine/backup. This took several hours. I came back and it said it had completed migration. Clicked on next and this is what I have.
I don’t know how to proceed from here. What do I do?

That screen indicates that all you need to do is enter your password. If you want something else go into System settings and change it.
Try just ehter8hg your password in the text field and hitting the Enter key.
Then when you get in, make sure all Systems settings are what you expect. Sometimes in big updates or upgrades System settings get changed, like the iCloud and the iCloud Drive for one.

Details are seriously lacking — to start hazarding speculation with 20 questions
what are specs on ‘new’ iMac — year, size of its SSD/HDD
what macOS version is on the new Mac
did you install it from scratch after first erasing it
is the disk utility screenshot of the ‘new’ Mac or the old one
is the timemachine backup on an external SSD or HDD
how is it connected
+++++
if migration assistant indeed failed to bring over the old user to the new Mac
i would Erase the new Mac
reinstall macOS from scratch
and try again…
I would review the procedure before doing that to be sure I had it right
and didn’t make the same mistake…
Looks like I’m not getting any other support on this query.
I’ve tried again this morning and nothing happens when I click on the yellow icon.
I’m thinking maybe going back to the start of the whole set up process, and that will mean erasing everything and back to factory settings.
Please advise me how to get back to factory settings.
Although I haven’t managed to log into my iMac yet, I’ve used start up options to get me to to this screen in Disk Utility.
If I erase the Macintosh HD will I be able to start the whole set up process again (hopefully with a functioning result) ?
Thank you for your response. Don’t be offended if I don’t complete all the details you suggest right now. I seem to have got everything rolling (luck more than skill), so I shall wait to see if Migration completes first.
Again,thank you.
I’ve clicked and nothing happens. I’ve tried restarting and same thing.
I was expecting there to be more steps to the set up after migration, so I have a feeling something has gone wrong.
Do you have any responses to my further queries?
How do I complete iMac setup after Time Machine migration?
